When you come up with your final design try contacting the customer service rep to go over your plan. I have found selkirk to be very helpful when I asked them to review my plans.

I don't see why not -- as long as the required clearances are met, though I'm no expert. I would still use the ceiling support kit (with the roof support) so that the chimney doesn't move and everything is trimmed out. But the weight of the chimney would be hanging from the rafters.
If you are worried about the drop tiles you cold always replace the one with the chimney through it with 5/8" sheetrock.

That's what I was thinking. Just use the cathedral ceiling support box and replace the tile in the drop ceiling with something that the connector pipe can pass by? But what to use in place of the drop ceiling tile?

The cathedral ceiling support box should be cut so that it hangs at least 2" below the drop ceiling. Then pop rivet on some angle metal to support the ceiling tiles and cut the tiles to fit around the support box. They will rest on the ledge created by the angle metal.
Thanks, I think that is what I am going with on my shop wood burner.Sparkster said:I just used one of those red silicone flashings for installing a mast-type electrical service through a metal roof overhang. You just hand-form the aluminum flange over the roofing ridges, then lay down some butyl tape, and screw it down. Fast and easy.
