Question:

I own several acres of wooded land enough to heat the next 20 generations. The only problem is the fear of a fire from a improperly installed chimminey. I was looking at metalbestos but there locking system does not impress me. Any recomendations.



Answer:

Similar to all chimneys I've seen. The sections twist together, and then there is a locking band to make certain they stay that way. I've never heard of them coming apart....when metal chimneys usually fail it's usually when the inner liner buckles after too many chimney fires
