[QUOTE="Whitespider, post: 5049549, member: 57106"] BOCA code is voluntary, not mandatory... although it has been adopted over [U][I][B]most[/B][/I][/U] of the US, it's application varies. Depending on state or local code, it may, or may not apply to the year the wood stove is installed, or even to a chimney modification (depending)... it may only apply to new construction. I tend to agree with you. Blockage would not cause a down draft (which is what you seem to be describing)... but a chimney below the highest point of the house can. At the same time, so can a wind swirling around the house, trees, and whatnot... with is also often remedied by height. Likely you'll end up extending the chimney... and possibly it will need to be extended past the highest point of the other part of the house before it will be 100% (been there, done that, own the t-shirt). Good luck. * [/QUOTE]
