HI All,
Im looking to extend my chimney another 18-24"s above my ridgeline. The chimney company that did my wood stove install said they could do it for another $750 but this seems like an easy diy for way less. My question is they had mentioned they would add on a 24" class a pipe as an extension. Is that really needed, i was thinking about ordering this:

Its just a simple 18" long stainless steel single wall pipe. Should i be concerned the 18" isn't insulated? Pic attached for current set up that needs to be extended

Chimney Flue Extender
Need to offset 2 chimney liner caps adjacent from each other or extend your flue above the roof line? Fits perfectly on to the top plate collar to provide an 18 inch offset / extension.
