I'd put it at the ridge where water drains away from the added
flashing. Then you need only seal around the flue pipe.

Yabbut those panels are only corrugated on 4" or 6" centers - you
can
only pull that off (sneaking through only one ridge) by making a
custom oval flue-pipe. ...

The ridge of the roof, not of a corrugation, or close enough to it
that a sheet can overlap the ridge and the upper edge of the roof
fitting.

Go back and read the thread again - he's on a flat Lean-To carport
style roof on one side of a Mobilehome. There is no roof ridge
available on a flat roof (only a High and Low side) so that won't do
any good.

It's deep corrugated steel panels originally made to be the roof deck
on a commercial building, the base of any roof flashing like that has
to have the matching corrugations and nobody makes them. A flat
based flashing isn't going to work, and a custom flashing would be far
more effort (and money) than it's worth.

-- Bruce --



The low end of the roof is enclosed by a rectangular piece of aluminum
that has a slot in one side that the roof goes into and runs its
length..some 65'. It works as a rain gutter. Well..it would if it
wasnt filled with dust, dirt and debris from the trees, the grape
vines and a cubic buttload of cat ****.

How the cats get up there is another thing to figure out.

IIRC a standard stove pipe is 7" dia. so what you need is a length of
8" sheet metal (heavier gauge than the deck sheet) cylinder through an
opening in the deck, centerd on a rige of the profile and vertical
(not at right angles to the decking). Re-work the decking such that
water doesn't get trapped uphill from the chimney. Weld the cylinder
to the roof deck with no leaks. Pack the space between the stove pipe
and the cylinder with rock wool or similar insulation and waterproof
the top with a hand fabricated flashing. Extend your stove pipe as
high as neccessary, guy it in place, instal a screened cone rodent
proof cap and enjoy some warmth.
This far above the heater you shold be able to use galvanized ducting
which is available in longer lengths than standard black stove pipe.
