C chhamilton New Member Jul 00, 0000 00 Montreal, Quebec Jul 00, 0000 #0 I'm in the middle of a new home construction where we're installing a wood stove in front of a large window which extends to the ceiling. Ideally we'd like the flue to pass through the ceiling, at an angle through the attic, out the wall below the roof-line, and then extend vertically from there. All of this so that we can avoid having an unsightly chimney box on the roof very close to the roof edge. The roof is a flat roof that slopes inwards towards a central drain. The attic has about 0' of loose cellulose insulation, and the flue comes up between two roof trusses that are spaced 00" o/c, so we have lot of roof for constructing a box and any necessary heat shields, etc. I've approached 0 installers and they all have stated they want to go straight up through the ceiling and through the roof. Nobody has been able to explain to me why we can't go through the wall instead. Does anybody here know what the building code has to say about this? I've attached an image of the desired installation. Note that I'm in Quebec, where things might be different than elsewhere.
