Chimney OK ??

[Derkp]

Hi All,
I have a 36 inch, 3 clay tile segment chimney, it seems to be drawing well with small newspaper only fires. A whisp out the front but no soot buildup.

Does 36 inch sound too short? I could add another section and the brick is only .30 each.

Thanks

Derk

My flu is wider then your's, but I only went 24 inches high. If it's drawing well, you are golden. Looking good.

Thanks Les,

I just ordered a flue cap and spark arrestor.

Beautiful brickwork on your oven. I especially like your tool storage. Is that rack an off the shelf garden tool holder setup or a do it yourself project?

According to me, Building codes require the chimney to be at least 36 inches above the point where the chimney punctuates the roof.
