I had a chimney cleaning today, and the guy that came out said I had several cracked flue tiles in the 70+ year old chimney I have.
Otherwise, he said it was in good shape.
Of course, his suggestion was to reline the chimney AND buy a new insert, and he just happened to have a catalogue with him AND a price for the job.
I sent him on his way, but should I be very worried about cracked flue tiles? He said they were in the smoke chamber just above the damper.
I am running a old insert (25+ years) with good hardwoods.
