Question

Chimney
Iam looking for an extension to a chimney.  I was told it is a Marco Fireplace. The chimney dimensions are 12" outside tube and an 8" inside tube.  Need 3-4 feet to help prevent back drafts.  Where can I find a chimney extension of this size?

Thanks Wayne

Answer
Hello Wayne, I do not know if Macro is till in business, you could do a web search, if not then you can not just add a piece of pipe (you can not miss and match pipes from different manufacturers) you might have to replace the entire system including the fireplace.
I would have a local Certified Chimney Sweep (www.csia.org, there you can look up by zip code to find one near you) take a first hand look at what you have they might be able to help.
