Cricket pics?

[michiganwinters]

I was reading another thread and someone suggested installing a cricket on their exterior chimney pipe flashing. Just wondering why and if there were any pics of them. I have 8/12 pitch and pipe is close to eve because of it being on a corner hearth on outside wall. I have 6" selkirk manufactured double class A (called supervent sold here in states).

Please post it if you find one. I haven't found any of flues with crickets. North of 60 can you help? Here are some examples I've found:

LOL, make the poor kid go up there and paint it.
That muck around the pipe flashing won't last too long.
The cricket ain't a bad one though. Although, any melted snow/ice will run under and refreeze. could push up on the cricket over time. Might hold well though.

Unsafe ladder position!

Yeah, that goober job on the vent pipe is embarrassing. Do they make a proper vent boot for metal roofs? Even with a conventional one, why would you be tarring up around the pipe?

You'd have to climb up there to see the snot- I wouldn't worry.

It's probably their 2nd or 3rd time on the roof trying to lock down that leak...I'd be gooping it on too. Covering up ceiling leaks is a real pain not only with the preparation and all...can you imaging doing the same thing 2 or 3 times?
