Chimney flashing is something I’ve never dealt with and never bothered to look at someone else’s house for the answer to this:
Running the chimney off the gable end of the house seems easy, as does running the chimney through the ridge line. What I need to do with my house is run the chimney (single flue from a fireplace) through the roof, about four feet down the slope from the ridge. 9/12 pitch roof, if it matters.
Can someone point me in the direction of the best way to flash this or give me some ideas of how it should be done?

step flash with folded leaves, woven in course of the shingles. Then counter flash in the chimney joint space..but yoy really need to give some more info..as to what the chimney and roof mat. is.

Chimney will be fake stone stuff (Cultured or equivalent). Roofing will most likely be a standard 40 year archy shingle.
Jon,
You need to put a cricket on the upslope side of the chimney. This is comprised of a ridge that runs from the middle of the upslope side of the chimney straight (and level) back to the roof.
Then you run slopes down from that ridge to the corner of the chimney. The cricket narrows as it goes up the roof.
Then shingle the cricket just as the rest of the roof, giving those mini valleys the valley treatment and using step flashing on the top and sides of the chimney. Then counter flashing.
Follow Iron Helix's advice and link above for more info. The only hard part is the counter flashing.

Another day, another tool.
Did you have any luck in the archives?
What are the dimensions? Under certain circumstance the building od a cricket can be sustitued for a bent flashing assembly.
How will the "fake" chimney be constructed?
Other resources for chimney flashing details are available....let me know what you need.

Check out the archives on finehomebuilding https://www.finehomebuilding.com/archive and search under flashing and chimney.
In my mind's eye I remember an article for the building and flashing of a chimney throught the roof-----in extreme detail.with pictures.
............I just don't know the issue number. Somewhere in that stack of 169 issues!

Also..good article in the December2000/January 2001 of FHB. "Flashing A Chimney" Does not appear to be in the "free" archives.
Any general construction book worth it's salt will also have this covered.
Knowledge is power, but only if applied in a timely fashion.
