For those with too much creosote in the chimney
« on: December 08, 2011, 11:17:11 AM »
Here is what I did a couple years ago. I trimmed the sheet metal around the chimney and slid this bad boy down over the chimney

I slid it clear down to rest on the water jacket. I shoved some rope gasket between the existing chimney and the double wall pipe. I then squirted some high temp silicone around it too. This was to keep anything from running down between the pipes.

 
I then resealed around the chimney and roof with high temp silicone.

At the end of the season i do get a little build up that I scrape out but I have never had it plug shut.

Seems like a great idea.  It effectively gives you a triple walled pipe.  An insulated chimney is an option but it would be more expensive.
