First my exterior chimney is made from 16" square ventilated cinder blocks with a 9" hole that is clay lined. I am just starting to put vinyl siding on when it occurs to me that I have to butt up against the chimney, I have never felt how hot the blocks get with a fire and really don't want to start one when its 90 outside plus I plan on a new Englander stove later in the year and it will probably burn hotter then my old Ashley.
I thought about a buffer material between the chimney and siding like a single red brick from ground to roof bonded to my old slate siding or am I worrying about nothing since the chimney is attached to my wooden frame house and it hasn't burned down (yet).
Has anyone ran into this before
