Hello all,
I am building a camp in central VT. We're about to install a metal seam roof. We have an old wood stove. What type of boot do we need to put in place before the roof install? The roofer wants us to have the boot in place before hand. The roof is a 12 pitch and it's an old Vermont castings. Thanks!
 
The hole for the chimney pipe gets cut ahead of time, but the flashing boot goes on after the roof is down. There are flashings meant for metal seam roofs. This picture shows ICC Excel which is often used.

Instructions for the roofer are here, though he should know this.

Metal flashing made for metal excell and ventis make ones. And if your roofer wants it down first find a new roofer
