I would like to add another section of pipe to my chimney. It's outside the house, 3x5' sections of double wall pipe already. Due to the way the roof slopes, I don't think that the standard roof bracket kit (using Dura Tech) is long enough. Does anyone know if they sell just a collar and roof bracket kit to which one can add sections of pipe? I've looked at a couple of places on line and the kits for both DuraTech and DuraPlus come with the rods/pipe.

Thanks for any input.

Well, here's a dumb follow-up. The instructions don't state if the support rods have to be horizontal from the chimney pipe - if not, I might be OK. I was thinking they should be as close to horizontal from the pipe to roof as possible. Not sure why I thought this.

Any input appreciated,

Tim
