   Does it come out through the ridge so you could build a dummy cupola over it?

   *b WBA At Your ServiceFrame box with 2x and plywood to the size of a chimney, and then cover it with felt paper, wire lath and stucco. You can finish the stucco or cover it with a face brick (approx. 3/4" thickness) bonded to the stucco base to match the house brick. Or the box can be covered with an EIFS product like Dryvit or Stow. Proper flashing and chimney cap is critical.

   *Not through the ridge, about 16-18inches below it. I like the idea of the stucco box, I might be able to get the customer to go for that. She has her eye on these red clay formed chimney tops that you sometimes see here in CT, the problem is they weigh a ton and would require a manner of securing it that I can't seem to come up with. They typically sit atop a brick chimney, and to add one to a wood roof on 1 x 3 cross firring seems a little tough to me. Thanks for the suggestions. Bill

   I have a good customer that I am having a new heating system installed for and we were forced (for many reasons) to run a new flue pipe through the house (a beautiful brick clad georgian colonial with a wood shingle roof) and roof and extend it two feet above the ridge line. Of course the stainless steel b-vent looks like a piece of scrap metal glued to the roof of this lovely home. Does anyone know of a cover (ceramic, clay, masonry etc) other than a plywood box with glued on brick that might work in this situation? Thanks for the suggestions, Bill
