The chimney to our wood-burning stove is too close to the higher roof
next to it. Actually, it butts right up against it. I'm trying to
figure out how to fix this problem as economically as possible. Any
suggestions, other than ripping the stove out?

You said stove so I'll make the big assumption that its a pipe chimney.
Can't you in this case simply re-route the pipe to somewhere more
convienent?

Let's hope it's not single-wall smokepipe, but a real chimney of some
sort. And that the OP will work on word-pictures.

For one thing a chimney that "butts right up against" "the higher
roof"
says to me that some sort of roof overhang is above the chimney
discharge, which would be really stupid. IMHO.
