At least that s the deal with.
How tall should a smoke stack be above the roof.
Ihop that was helpful.
How tall should a stack vent be above the roof line.
The stove pipe wasn t far above the top of the roof and wind blew smoke back into the house.
I used to have a flat roof on the house.
The house has a walkout cellar.
Additionally per our rule we need to add 2 feet or 24 inches giving us a total height of 64 inches.
I don t want to have to clean the soot off the cedar siding.
So take the top number of your roof pitch and multiply it by 10 then add 24 note example 1.
Plenty of height was added to the stove pipe but whenever the wind blows it will still blow smoke back into the house.
Back to our example over a run of 10 feet the roof would rise 40 inches.
To determine this height measure 10 feet horizontally toward the roof from the point 2 feet below the top of the pipe.
The cap on top of the pipe should not be be included in the measurement.
Stove burning only not as strong a smell and no smoke bellowing out of the stack.
I had the roof you see in the photos done in 1991.
Are clean out is inside because we have a 12 tall concrete wall to go over.
I m going to run the vent pipe up above the roof line.
