AGNEW TINY HOUSE: Stove Pipe Flashing

One of the trickiest challenges we have faced yet is how to install the wood stove pipe flashing on the roof. Because we have decided to use a full on wood-cook stove we have too also install the chimney, stove pipe, and flashing. Learning how to install the flashing on a metal roof has been a challenge to find over the internet. We went withthe guidance from Obadiah's Wood Stoves, the same placewe bought our wood stove from The have installed quite a few of these. So we figured we could trust their expertise. It made sense to both of us and seemed sturdy and leak proof!

Its unfortunate that they have make the stove pipe flashing so ugly I wish they would on the beautification factor a littler more. I guess we will just have to do that ourselves.

We've opted to put the chimney on the roof as opposed to the side of the house like we've seen people do. It's far better to have the stove pipe take as few 90 degree turns as possible. It creates a better burn and better draft, especially for the stove we have. Putting it through the roof allows the stove to go straight up and out. Now one challenge we do still face is we are basically at our height limit. I haven't mention before but height and weight are VERY IMPORTANT factors to consider when building a tiny house. I will discuss that in another post. As it looks right now our chimney pipe is going to exceed our height limit. So we will have to somehow make an adjustable or moveable chimney pipe. I'll keep you posted on how that works out.

Here's the link to the video we watched on the installation process. For someone I can't seem to get the video on the blog.
