I was given a big old Nashua stove for my garage. I am looking forward to having heat and indoor workspace this winter, but looking into the process of building a chimney seems a bit back and forth as to what is actually needed.
I have an 8' cinderblock wall, then the roof and end walls beneath the roof are wood. I plan to run the chimney up and out the wood wall where there is already a framed opening (originally a vent). I figured I would run black stove pipe up to the wall, concrete board mounted on spacers in front of the wood wall where it passes by, and then the real question is through the wall and out. There seems to be a mixed discussion on legal/safe options. I need to pass through a wood wall then turn up and go about 6' to be 2-3' above the rooftop.
How would you suggest to do it, for those of you that have done it? I would rather not cut holes in the roof if I can help it.
