I plan to do something like this on our project house as it will have slate tiles for the roof, which slopes towards the front door.I'm so sick and tired of clearing the driveway when snow slides off the roofs. When it does it's always wet and in huge amounts, hard like concrete where it drops

It's a stop so it melts instead of just running down in 200 km/h

As kids, we used to chuck snowballs up on the steep roofs to start an avalanche, must try it this winter to see if it still works
.
I've mostly seen them on church buildings.
I thought about this, and although I haven't seen it done, I would think that a wooden plug would be fitted in the end of the pipe with a domed metal cover temporarily screwed over it and a weighted rope attached to the end that would be dropped down the chimney first. I drew up a sketch, but it looked like something else
so decided not to post it.
I suppose old(er) buildings would be more problematic, where the stack isn't built using regular blocks/bricks.

My experience of chimneys is limited to sitting at the bottom end, preferably enjoying a roaring fire. 
And Wee Dram?No, I didn't know that.
an absolute pain in the hole if mine is owt to go by!!
