Whats the deal with the Silicone chimney boots? I see a lot of videos where they are attaching them straight to the double wall pipe coming out of the roof. It seems kinda sketchy. Just doing some pre-planning.

Quoting: lburners attaching them straight to the double wall pipe
If the double wall pipe you refer to is Class A approved chimney pipe, the silicone boots are superb. We used them since 2005 or so. They are the easiest thing to use on a ribbed metal roof. We used those boots for all sizes of roof perforations; vents and electric service masts too. There are also grey, non-super heated, ones available for std. vents, etc.
I myself have one on the house wood stove insulated chimney, the shop stoves and the hunt/fish cabin wood stove chimney.

I think we are getting terms confused. There is actualy a double wall pipe made with no insulation and is designed for interior use to reduce the clearance to combustibles. Triple wall or class A is what insulated pipe you normaly see is.
What I'm seeing connected to that boot in the second link is actualy tripple/class A pipe. Silicone boots are made for that.

That pipe with that high temp boot should be fine. When screwing the boot down to the roof make sure you have wood under the whole area and use a flashing cement. Snow splitter would be good to, it also helps keep the rain off of the boot to roof joint.

And here is a picture of these rubber boots in use
To confirm - that is a triple wall external pipe, sprayed with black high heat paint and it works perfectly

Here is my Class3 insulated pipe through ceiling, this is the only rubber boot I could find, kind of small for a 6" pipe on a 12:12 pitch. But it works. I have been meaning to get up there and spray paint the boot black or green, the orange is terrible looking.

Wow fisher I’m surprised you have a chimney. I know because they stack on my roof got pulled over , again. On our home. And it’s only 5’ from the ridge. Metal bestus brand triple wall stainless steel. Metal roof 12/5 pitch. The ice n snow freeze around it and when it slides it takes it off. The roof is about 30’ long so I guess that’s just a lot of weight when it gets over a foot of compacted snow on the roof. I’m thinking I just need to put up snow brakes n not let it slide. It is the stack for our central heating system a fuel oil forced air furnace. We haven’t used it since we put our pellet stove in and have a toyo in the upstairs level. We have 3 separate heating sources in our home. My job can take me away for months at a time so I can’t take chances. Near ten below this morning.

I installed a snow brake and pipe holder. It does a good job of keep the snow from taking the pipe out. I would have rather installed a cricket but didn't want to drill through the tin, I have standing seam roof. The snow brake is clamped to the standing seam ridges. We got a few more feet of snow and I went up on the ladder and shoveled the snow off around the pipe. I don't seeing having to do that very often.

I have seen commercial standing seam ladders dangling off the eve on a local fire house and we dont get major snow like you I'm sure.
I have also seen the glue on ones not even last one winter. It was a double row of glue on and not one survived the winter. Some broke off some the glue let go. None of these where over 6/12 pitch.
I think the splitter with proper support is the way to go...along with having the chimney come out as high as possible on the roof.
