Id sure like to know if it is. Looks exactly like mine. You havent been poking your lens in my chimney while I was at work have you?
Whewww
! Thanks BB, thought I had another head-ache to fix before I get started on the B Plate. Any reason a block off plate couldn't be at an angle? If I follow the contour of my damper, it sits at a slight angle but it would be much easier to fashion a block off plate that way. I could sit it on top of the damper surround.

Are you sure? Looks like mine and I considered mine to be a structural issue. On mine it appears they built the chimney up to complete the firebox and then set the damper assembly in place and used the front of the damper assembly to support the inner layer of brick, very similar to whats seen here. I have two layers of brick in the front (inside house), one is a 'decorative' facing and the inner one eventually forms the outside of the brick chimney above the roof line on the same side.
When I began to remove my damper assembly (too small for flexi) this floating brick course became apparent and I assumed I would need to install a 36x3" steel plate to provide support.
