Question
Mr. Ball, what is the minimum distance between two class A
chimneys servicing wood burning stoves? If there is no code
for this, what is the rule of thumb,your expert advise, or experiences. Thanks

Answer
Hello Paul, to tell you the truth I do not know, I would check with the pipe manufacturer or your local building department and ask them, I do know most class a's are 2" minimum to combustibles I would say if you have no other answers just do not let them touch.
