Jeff Lodge Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Check out Beautiful Iron web site. They have a pretty nice layout listed therehttp://www.beautifuliron.com/steel.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomsdad Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Jeff, Thanks for the reply, would you have to have an offset in the chimney to prevent rainwater falling down into the bottom. Also would incorporating an offset affect the draw of the chimney? I only want to build this once Atb Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Lodge Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I am not sure about an offset, but I would probably just use a rain cap. Edit: I Just looked again at the plans. I think the off set you see is the smoke shelf which to my understanding helps the draw on the gases up the flue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
