hi, i have recently made some changes at home which resulted to my having to reposition my oil fired boiler.
i intent putting it in a shed in my back yard. i need to find out how high flue chimney needs to be. the shed is small and stands alone so having a flue stack rising high above the roof will wont be appropriate.

thanks
