Question was looking at my manual more on my whitfield advantage.I was looking at the graph they show for chimney now if I'm 372ft above sea level it says to use 20ft of pipe now is that much necessary.
 
I looked at that chart I think you select your elevation and your chimney height and it tells you if you should
use 3" or 4" pipe for the chimney.
