Would anyone with a hobby sized evaporator with a six inch hole in back of the arch explain the best way to run there stove pipe through roof. Single to triple wall anyone? Thanks!!

Coming out of my evaporator, I have regular 6" pipe for about 4 feet, which fits into a 1-foot section of zero-clearance to get through the roof. (I cut a hole in the roof to fit my zero-clearance pipe.) This set-up works fine--the roof doesn't get too hot. Better would have been a 2-foot section of zero clearance (a little less heat on the ceiling and a little more length, overall for more draw). After boiling season, I tack a piece of sheet metal and some shingles back over the hole.
