Question
I got a circle outdoor firepit for Christmas and need a chimney over top of it to direct the smoke away from my house, how would I go about doing that?

Answer
Hell Mark, as with any home project you should start with your local building department for exactly what your area requires for code to build a chimney for that fire pit (bring the directions) they will walk you through what you need if you are the do it your selfer
you can also contact a Mason (you may still need a building permit)
hope this helped
