chimney going UP

SO the chimney is now making its way up, above it is some corrugated clear roofing which it has to go through.

I have a few options as to when i stop the bricks and then put in the round galvenised iron chimney pipe so i have decide to take the brick trhough the roof and then add the pipe, the main reason is the pipe might get hot and melt the roof but the bricks will be a better insulator. I then need to simply water proof the around the chimney. +++ it should look good.

I need a tall chimney as the neighbours garage is 2 storeys high because they are uphill from us, if i don't take the chimney up high the smoke may just end up coming back down onto us. yes smoke can travel down.
