I have two, One for my Englander in the garage and one for my oil burner. Now I want to add a wood furnace or a stove in the family room. SO that will make three damn chimneys coming out of the roof. It'll look like some kind of power plant

I have three.

I also have an oil furnace, but it is a high efficiency furnace that does not require a chimney styled exhaust.
 
2, but since I had the oil furnace removed the old one's coming out. It's pulling itself down right now.

Two chimneys, two flues each.

Flues:
1: oil furnace
2: wood stoves, Napoleon 1401, Avalon Arbor free standing.
1: formerly gas insert, preparing for new Hampton HI300 Insert
 
Two "two-holers". One for the house (oil-fired boiler and Fireview), one for the barn (oil-fired furnace and the Classic).
 
6 chimneys 3 are in main house 2 are greenhouses and the last is outdoor kitchen.
 
Four and a seasonal fifth. One for the oil burner furnace that rarely comes on anymore 2 metal chimneys for wood stoves, one for the blacksmithing forge in my workshop and a pipe that I put up for the maple evaporator every spring. Getting to be that time of the year now, come to think of it. Used to have one for a small greenhouse but I gave that one away last week.

I pushed a block one over last fall (kind of scary) when we started a construction project that from hind site I'm surprised didn't fall over on it's own. It wasn't tied into the house at all and didn't really have a footer. It's the kind of thing that makes you think maybe building codes aren't a bad thing after all.
 
I have 4 and all are ceramic lined and about 40 ft tall. I have a slate roof so everything has to be done from the bottom up.
