How to install a wood burning stove in a steel building or carport or barn.

What happens here

Before going up on the roof, the narrator installs the universal rain cap and attaches parts of the Roof Brace Kit to the insulated chimney pipe. This pre-assembly saves time and effort while working on the roof. He ensures he has all necessary tools and materials, including the correct bit size for self-tapping screws and a drill, in a 'pocket full of goodies' to minimize trips up and down the roof.

Goal: Attach the rain cap and bracing kit to the chimney pipe before roof installation.
