Good evening all,
We are first time homebuyers and new to wood stoves. We just bought 4 cords of wood and have a few questions below.
Our existing chimney looked a little funky, so we investigated and found a 8” pipe fit over a 6” chimney. Pictures attached. Does this look code compliant, or did they sheath the existing chimney to extend the height of the existing chimney? I just want to make sure that when we have our first fire, that we don’t burn down the house!
The existing interior ceiling box is “metal fab”, so I would the exterior pipe is as well.
