I had a gentleman come out last week to inspect our woodstove for WETT certification. Paid up-front, $300. Everything was fine but the chimney is apparently too short for the roof (it's a masonry chimney with a clay liner, and a flexible liner inserted the whole length with rain cap installed).
The gentleman told me that I could order the parts from their shop, install them myself, send them pictures of the install, and they would give me the certification for insurance.
I was up on the roof and measured the height of the termination (the rain cap extends a little above, see link at bottom) to be 68" tall. The roof is a 4-12 slope, so am I not correct that the chimney height needs to be 64" tall based on the WETT manual?
I asked him this over email and he said the measurement is from the chimney crown to the peak of the roof. I see 2 problems with this:
- Would their extension kit also not be sufficient since it is not extending the masonry higher?
- The peak is 13' away, so am I not correct in assuming the 2' offset is from the highest point 10' away?
Are there any experts in here who can weigh in?
