Re: Replacing a beyond repair chimney
I personally would stay with a brick chimney. I think you would loose too much heat in a stainless..the bricks/flue will heat up and radiate heat.
I have a rumsford fireplace in my house, traditional fireplace, and the thing radiates heat like no other.

What do you mean by below the roof line. If it is what I am guessing there are codes so the chimney will draw a draft or whatever that is called. |

Wouldn't this water damage be a result of improperly installed flashing and roofing tiles, rather than putting the blame on the chimney? Lots of chimneys in the middle of the roof around here (including mine), don't know of any that are the cause of water damage with a properly maintained roof. |
