Does anyone have suggestions on the best vent pipe saver for corrugated roof with a 5/12 pitch?
This roof pictured is not mine however it is what happened to me and want to try to prevent it from happening again.

1. Poor installation. The vent pipe should exit near the peak of the roof to allow the trusses to support the vent pipe in two places.
2. Not double wall pipe. Double wall pipe provides better exhaust flow at low burn periods and more rigidity.
3. Pipe not installed near the peak need guy wires for support.
4. No rain cap.
5. Maybe rotten roof.

Look up a 'cricket', a V shaped uproof attachment that diverts the snow to the sides as it slides down.

There is a item call snow jacks, you can add cleats to roof to keep snow from sliding in that spot, a wedge is gusset of metal, this will go upside on the vent stack to the roof, it acts as a knife, so the sliding snow is sliced and goes around it, in addition to being a gusset

And your problem in particular, needs this.

I made my own. After looking for something that could straddle a metal roofing rib and still give me the width I needed to divert the snow properly...I found no such thing existed. I needed something that had a bit of height to it and I wanted it red to match my roof. I just used folds and metal screws to fasten the inner stiffing pieces to itself.
I get more than 20 feet at my cabin, and my stove pipe has stayed put for 4 years now.

And this is it in action/fitted
To confirm - it is the correct stove pipe - it has been painted with heat resistant matt black, from the original stainless steel
