Quick question about chimneys. When I purchased my home they/the inspector said it needed a chimney liner. No big deal...im starting to get around to doing just that...but my chimney is square/rectangle. Every liner I have found is round. Do you stuff the round liner into the square hole? My dampener at the top is square.
I have a fireplace, not a wood burning stove. It seems to me that in looking at shit online and in lowes/home depot...a brick chimney is a liner in itself.
???

you don't need a liner in a fireplace.
like whats his face said they use em on wood stoves because they can get really hot... its like something you can use for installation so it doesn't start a fire
-
I've never heard of anyone using a flue for a fireplace.. and google images "chimney liner" is showing me dudes putting liners (flexible flues really) down brick chimneys for a wood stove.

Shows ceramic things in the brick
thats what I am finding also. Flues/liners are only needed for stoves. I have a fireplace. You open the dampner and it goes straight into the brick lined chimney.

i thought you just clean em, we have used ours for like 10+ years and just burn one of those auto cleaning logs about 4 times a winter season.
-
so the inspector told you that you needed something that you really don't. typical. i'd call em up and ask what liner do you use for a fireplace. cuz they are fuckn retarded
-
go ask them how rock can set fire

That's my thinking also. If I had a wood cased chimney I think it would be a different story. In that case I would line it.
I don't, its 100% brick from the top to the bottom and very clean except for some cobwebs. I dont think it has been used in many years.
So im glad I am thinking correctly. All I really need is a new cap. sweet.

Call someone out to look at it.
I'm lucky to be alive today, found a flue issue last night from when roof was replaced over the summer.

i bet it would eventually get the suction going and pull it out

Would still have low level CO poisoning, something most pass off as a cold or flu like.
My father (RIP) worked for local utility company in gas service division, so I had an idea WTF was going on.
He got a service award for dragging three black kids out of a house due to CO poisoning, the mother called the cops, later once calmed down, she thanked him.
