How Tall Should A Smoke Stack Be Above The Roof

Plenty of height was added to the stove pipe but whenever the wind blows it will still blow smoke back into the house.

How tall should a smoke stack be above the roof. I don t want to have to clean the soot off the cedar siding. Ihop that was helpful. Stove burning only not as strong a smell and no smoke bellowing out of the stack. Additionally per our rule we need to add 2 feet or 24 inches giving us a total height of 64 inches.

The stove pipe wasn t far above the top of the roof and wind blew smoke back into the house. Back to our example over a run of 10 feet the roof would rise 40 inches. This is a bit of an odd measurement and chimney clearance case because the chimney side is actually about 8 away from the roof edge. I used to have a flat roof on the house.

The cap on top of the pipe should not be be included in the measurement. I m going to run the vent pipe up above the roof line. The height of the chimney above the roof surface measured at the up slope side of the chimney from the roof surface to the chimney top should be at least three feet the green line in our photo. I had the roof you see in the photos done in 1991.

To determine this height measure 10 feet horizontally toward the roof from the point 2 feet below the top of the pipe. The house has a walkout cellar. How tall should a stack vent be above the roof line. Are clean out is inside because we have a 12 tall concrete wall to go over.
