Chimney too low?

[dizzyh]

Hi Everyone,
I just finished installing my duraplus triple wall chimney and new to wood burning stoves. Do you think this chimney is too low from the peak of the roof? I am not sure if it should be 3 feet above the roof line or 2 feet. Please see pictures. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Welcome. It needs to be 2 ft over the nearest roofline within a 10ft radius. Looks like you may be ok, but it's hard to tell exactly.

Chimney needs to be 3 ft above the roof and 2 ft above anything in a 10 ft radius. It looks like you have the required 3 ft but may be short the second requirement. If the peak of the roof is closer than 10 ft horizontal distance from the chimney it needs to extend 2 ft above the peak.

Thank you begreen and Grisu for your timely response. I now have a better understanding of the height requirement. I will measure it according to begreen's diagram. It looks very close. If the stack is to short by a few inches I will just add a 2 ft chimney section.

Just add it on. If anything, it will give you more draw!

Maybe only add 1' if you are more than 5' above the roof you need to brace it
