I have two, One for my Englander in the garage and one for my oil burner. Now I want to add a wood furnace or a stove in the family room. SO that will make three damn chimneys coming out of the roof. It'll look like some kind of power plant

Four and a seasonal fifth. One for the oil burner furnace that rarely comes on anymore 2 metal chimneys for wood stoves, one for the blacksmithing forge in my workshop and a pipe that I put up for the maple evaporator every spring. Getting to be that time of the year now, come to think of it. Used to have one for a small greenhouse but I gave that one away last week.
I pushed a block one over last fall (kind of scary) when we started a construction project that from hind site I'm surprised didn't fall over on it's own. It wasn't tied into the house at all and didn't really have a footer. It's the kind of thing that makes you think maybe building codes aren't a bad thing after all.
