Getting ready to have my stove professionally installed. Got some questions that need answers prior to having the guys out to do the work. When I was building I installed a chase made from OSB and dimensional lumber with inside measurements 12"x12" that runs from ceiling level up to the roof. I followed advice from the installer and was assured that the 12"x12" dimension was suffcient for stovepipe clearance. I am now questioning that and would like some feed back around proper chase installations with safe clearance distances. The pipe is going straight up from stove through the roof. 6/12 scissor truss inside bottom chord @ 18' from floor. The roof is 12/12 exterior @ 25' from grade. What type stove pipe will work safely in the chase that is already installed? Will I have to any modifications to the chase prior to install?
