This guy thinks he's brilliant. I shouldn't have to warn people but just in case someone is as stupid as this guy, don't try this at home:

This jerry-built chimney was replaced with class A pipe in 2015. Fortunately he didn't burn the house down. Common sense and the insurance company caught up with him, also he was sobered up by the negative feedback for this video.
 
OMG. The guy said he was doing this on a new house. He can afford to build a house but can't put a proper chimney in. Wow. My guess is he burned the last one down!
 
I was supposed to see this video before I spent all that money on my chimneys:(.
