My Mason came and built the first floor section of our chimney the other day. Now I have to lug some blocks up to the 2nd floor for him to finish up. Looks good so far.
That is looking good. I take it this is a remodeling job and not new construction judging by the exposed beams and solid plank subfloor?
That's what I was wondering too. It's not too common to use a clay flue in a new house. A Class A flue system would perform much better and be way more durable. Or an insulated SS liner in place of the clay is also a good way to go. Is that a 12"x12" or 8"x8" clay? How far will it be from that beam? It looks like the brick will need to be notched around it. It's hard to tell from the pic.Is there a specific reason you are using clay liner instead of a stainless liner?
You might want to ask Woodstock if that little stove will perform OK on that big rectangular flue. They might prefer that you drop a 6" liner down that clay since it's so oversized.
Good deal! They must have tested it like that, because that flue would be considered oversized with other 6" stoves.Yea I gave them a call and they didn't seem to think it would be a problem. I had some concern as well, but according to the manual it's within spec of max cross section.
+1Man those rough beams look absolutely georgous. Are you going to keep them visible or cover them up?
