wind baffle/ spark arrestor

[Jerome W. Young]

I thought that the flue should not have extend above the wind baffle in this arrangement. It was alittle strange. I am not very strong in this chimney area. Anyone have any comments for this?

That "wnd baffle" you refer to appears to be an unlisted shroud and should be removed. They are known to constitute a fire hazard. Unless you can find a listing sticker on them, consider shrouds unlisted and therefore a hazard.
