The '3 to 10 rule' is a standard for chimney construction. It requires the chimney to extend at least 3 feet above the highest point of the roof where it passes through. Also, it should be at least 2 feet taller than any part of the roof within a 10-foot horizontal distance. This ensures proper draft.
