Could my TPO roof be in danger if flashed against chimney?

[arkyheat1]

Just put a brand new TPO roof on my house, and as I've spent the last two weeks dreaming about installing a wood stove and venting it through a chimney that hasn't been used in who knows how long, I'm wondering if I need to rethink my options.

The chimney is 25ft tall. TPO material doesn't tolerate fire. One thing the roofer told me at install was to never never let anyone on the roof with matches or a cigarette.

SO, based on the pictures, should I be worried about how and where the TPO material has been flashed against the top of the chimney? What temperature could this brick get to this high up? If a stove is installed then there would definitely be a full chimney liner installed from top to bottom.

Thanks for any input, guys.

No need to worry if a liner is installed with insulation. If a stainless steel chimney liner is installed with 1/2" insulation and the chimney is at least 4" of masonry (yours obviously is) it is rated to 0 clearance.

Basically the brick will not be warm at all. The brick will be hotter on a summer day than with a hot fire burning.

You'll be fine.

Thanks, James...makes me breath easier.

If you are concerned about a possible fire hazard with your new roof you should monitor your creosote build up in your rain cap closely. The biggest risk with a highly combustible roof would likely be sparks or burning debris from a chimney fire. Such a fire would ignite any creosote caked on the screen of your rain cap and hot embers could easily find their way onto the roof.
