Question
How high should a new stainless chimney be above an existing stainless steel chimney. The chimneys will be about 3' apart
Hello Orest, hard to tell, chimney height is 3' above where you break the roof line, then a 10' circle if you don't hit any thing you are fine, if you do you keep going up till your 10' circle doesn't and then 2' taller than that, "minimum". 2 chimneys side by side check with your local building department for what they want in your area.
