So, it's finally happening. October 12th, the contractor is coming, taking our entire roof structure off, and putting back a new roof (Going from 5/12 rafters to 10/12 with attic trusses on both ends, and cathedral trusses in the middle).
Currently, we have a brick chimney with a terra cotta flue that goes right up through the middle of the house. I don't want to change this - having a central chimney has lots of advantages, and we are planning on incorporating it into our new kitchen island when all is said and done.
I want to replace everything, right from the basement to the peak, with a new triple wall chimney.
Are there any better places to buy than just googling it online?
What should I look out for, and especially what should I avoid?
I'm looking at about 24-25' total length from where it goes through the basement ceiling, up to the peak of the roof. I don't want to have to climb to the peak to clean the chimney, so do I put a cap on, or leave it open?
Thanks!
