Eavning all. I added a level to my cinder block wall and framed up an area for pavers where I'm putting my smoker and gas's grill. I'll sand and lay pavers tomorrow.
No Greg. I know of Calwise Spirits but not that guy. Didn't even hear about the hand sanitizer thing. A few breweries and distilleries here we're making hand sanitizer.

Well that was fun and insulation dust filled job! Should take care of it.
Greg, think smaller diameter exhaust tube (LP fireplace conversion) inside a 35% larger diameter original chimney casing (for real wood burning). The current natural gas fireplace exhaust tubes exit through the roof of course.
It worked dandy as long as the original brick chimney carried all warm air up and out above the roof, but I dropped the chimney to below roof line as it needed $2,500 in external rebricking up top to keep it.
So now any warm air surrounding the current exhaust tubes exits into the attic, coming out the top of the old chimney under the roof. Not burnt gases .......just warm air, creating warm spots in the roof and ice dams. I insulated in and around the whole structure.

Is this the part where we chastise Stan?

Huh? lol
Some of the chatter, including the "drawing" was meant quite tongue-in-cheek ...... hope I wasn't taken too seriously or appear to be chastising.
Sad part this whole affair could have been avoided with a little strategic placement of insulation, prior to placing the roof splice to cover the old chimney hole. Grrrrrrrr
