A Hello to everyone; yes new here and needing enlightened!
My "Interior masonry chimney" ?? crown was all cracked up from the previous owner.
Chimney runs through the garage, opposite side of the living room where the fireplace is.
Open fireplace, oil burning boiler furnace "Beckett" below in basement.
At least the top 3 terracotta flues are loose from the bad crown shifting and I can
fix those but thinking of installing a flexible liner.
Question is... Furnace flue is 8. 81/4 square, good shape other than a few lose
at the top "that I know of". If I install a flexible liner down the inside of the terracotta
flue, and the flues are at least 4" away from the inside of the chimney wall.. Do
I need to do insulation wrap on the new liner?
I have a newfound respect for chimneys!!
Appreciated !
