When considering a masonry chimney, round
tiles are preferable to square or rectangular, as
round tiles have much better airfl ow character-
istics and are far easier to clean. Unfortunately,
most North American chimneys use square or
rectangular tile liners that are really designed
for open fi replaces, not stoves or furnaces.
Of most importance, second only to overall
chimney height, is the diameter of the fl ue
liner itself. In most instances, it should be
sized to the appliance; i.e., 6" fl ue outlet on
the appliance requires a 6" fl ue. Th
e inner
diameter should never be less than the fl ue
outlet diameter and should never be greater
than 50% of the appliance fl ue outlet. For
example, do not expect a wood burning stove
or furnace to function properly if installed into
a chimney with a fl ue liner greater than 50%
the appliance outlet -- such as a 6" fl ue outlet
requires a 6" diameter for optimum draft ing,
but can function well with an 8", but becomes
borderline beyond 8" diameter.
Masonry chimneys built of concrete blocks
without fl ue liners of at least 5/8" fi reclay do
not meet modern building codes. A

solid fuel appliance must not be joined to a
chimney fl ue which is connected to another
appliance burning other fuels.
If your chimney has a typically oversized
fl ue liner of 8x12 inches or greater, or if it is
unlined, it will be necessary for you to reline
the chimney, using many of the modern
approved and economical methods such as
stainless steel, castable refractory, or properly
sized fi reclay linings.
