I know that most of you hearth-heads have heard customers
family & friends mangle the terms associated with this industry.
Here are some that I remember hearing over the years:
CHIMBLY (or CHIMLEY) - Where the smoke comes out...
FLUME - The inside part of the CHIMBLY...
TERROR COTTON - That orangey stuff that the FLUME is made out of...
DAMPNER - The door thingie in the CHIMBLY FLUME. Sometimes even CALLED the FLUME...
INSERT - a fireplace inserted into the wall...
ZERO TOLERANCE FIREPLACE - A factory-built INSERT
I'm sure more will come to me...
