Denray Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Came across these photos of a "cabin in the woods" I looked at a few years back. Anyway this chimney could be safe?

Ben H Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 You think that mesh is supposed to be a heat shield? No, couldn't be.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I can touch my hand to the horizontal run on my stove pipe, with a blast furnace of a fire going in the stove. There should be another thimble and some rock over that run, but other than that, oh yeah, it's not by the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check it out on the right. It worked fine for the original owner because he knew what he had and kept it safe. But for a new owner, I would call it an amateur installation that needs to be repaired. I grew up with single-wall stove pipes and leaky brick chimneys, but we were smarter then. [] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
