   I just completed a similar installation on a cottage that I'm building on Lake Nipissing in Northern Ontario. 12/12 pitch with metal roof, 18" sofit. Originally I intended to run the pipe straight through the cathedral ceiling but my stove supplier suggested going through the wall in order to facilitate a clean out 'T'. This would eliminate trying to clean the pipe from the inside and all the associated mess and cleanup.

   I looked into a flexible flashing that incorporated a rubber boot and an aluminum trim piece, similar to the vent stack that I installed for the chimney. This would then be capped with a S.S. flashing normally associated with S.S. chimneys.

   After picking the brains of a few local installers, they suggested cutting the eaves back, allowing for the 2" clearance and flashing as required. I must confess, a first I though this rather strange, however when you measure the diameter of the chimney flashing it would have overhung the fascia. I looked at a couple of installations and decided on this method. I've attached a picture. Difficult installation since I only had 3 sections of scaffold. I'm on an island and I wasn't prepared to waste the best part of a day to drive into town and rent additional scaffolding. My son and I assembled 4 sections as a unit and then lifted it on top of the 't' section. Lots of fun! Also a tricky situation to install the wind brace.

   thanks You've got me thinking about some new ways to do this. I will probably still have to go straight up because I plan on adding a gable roof that will intersect near my pipe . If I go straight up out of my room then I can avoid landing too close to the valley. Any recomended sources for pipe parts? Maybe online resources?
