no you sweep it from the bottom not the top in that caseAnd a 6" chimney Extending 8' above the chase. I'd need a freaking man lift to sweep it!

You could pick a different stove with lower clearances.Contact government authority for approval to put a 27" stove in a 55" hole
You dont have to remove the stove just pull the pipe and you should not need to clean 3x a year if you are burning it correctlyRemove the stove to sweep the chimney 3x a year?
If it is dry and the stove is burnt correctly there is no need to clean more than once a year. Dry pine burns just as clean as dry hard wood. It just does not have as many btus in it.Pine is all there is to burn here. Freaked me out at first, coming from the gulf coast you are raised to NEVER burn pine. But since that is all there is here I just sweep more often.
Yes on concrete anything non combustible is just fine lol. I didnt realize it was going on a slabPlease tell me that bricks on concrete is ok for a floor.
I appreciate all of the advice, really I do. I am having trouble coming to grips with all of the extra hell that appeared to be on its face "remove fireplace, install masonry, install stove, enjoy fire"
Now we've expanded it to

Extend chimney to touch the stars
Quadruple the price of the chimney
Put the beam at a height such that it no longer looks like an alcove.
Remove the stove to sweep the chimney 3x a year?
That is possible but not easy depending upon how much pipe you will be removing. It is also not that great for the pipe to be taken apart that many times. It in my opinion is much easier to just clean from the bottomI had anticipated just separating the pipe close above the roof line, but above the storm collar, and then cleaning the remaining installed part and the removed part separately. Is that not a reasonable strategy rather than scaffolding way above the roof or cleaning from below?
I have had that happen just pulling off caps before if i was not careful enoughthat the pipe may turn and separate below the roof instead of at the joint above the roo
yeah pretty much lol. Not that it is hard to fix just a pita to thread it back together then go down get the silicone and back up to reseal it ect.Don't ya hate when that happens.
