Jay: some codes in NY are even zero clearence.. it depends on two things for the most part and one more for good measure. 1) type of "double" wall piping used, 2) local codes and the other is good sense about fire safety. If it is the good Canadian manufactured and UL approved double wall piping it can be Zero clearenced at maximum... most double wall piping does not require alot of air space because it needs to stay warm in order to work at it's maximum design. If it's let cool to much creasote and cold spots (which become burn out hot spots) wear on the inner sheath and eventually burn through. As warm air rises it carrys the bad things with it, if it slows down accumulations begin and continue to wear on bends and joints, ect. Code wise Double wall is used mostly/approved while triple wall operates too cool and consequently is dangerous and for the most part, outlawed. Common sense alone would suggest that wires in the same chase is unsafe and illegal, given that the reflection of heat alone would deteriate any covering/sheathing of the conductors thus inhibiting electron flow given wire gauge specs. Even with good Double wall piping and good/efficent use of the wood fuel cleaning is necessary and inspections are still a must do periodical. I hope your friend has some good luck come his way given the misfortune.

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
