A flue liner is a flexible sleeve inside the pipe that carries the combustible products, such as smoke, up from the fire away from the living area, and into the atmosphere, outside the house. A liner is needed in case the flue is cracked or damaged, causing the smoke to stay in the house, or causing cold wind from the outside to come into the house. A flue liner is added protection to keeping the house safe from fumes.

How To Choose The Right Chimney Liner For Your Home?
For anyone that has a chimney in their home, a chimney liner is necessary. Over time the inside of your chimney can break down and allow exhaust fumes to enter your home, causing serious health and safety problems for you and your family. Installing a chimney liner can help eliminate this problem. However you must first decide which available model chimney liner will provide the best results and work in the fashion that you need it to. There are basically four different types of chimney liners that are used by most homeowners. Depending on the type of appliances that you have and the amount of use you use them for will determine the right solution for you. 1. Clay Tile Chimney Liner. A clay tile chimney liner is the most affordable option when choosing a chimney liner. There are however, many negative aspects when using this type of liner for your home. The tiles are not able to distribute the heat evenly and can put more pressure in certain areas over others, causing the tiles to become brittle and crack more rapidly. This option also is not a good choice when using with gas appliances, as it does not handle combustible materials accurately. However, if you are using this for a fireplace and do not use it often, the clay tile chimney liner option would be beneficial for you. 2. Stainless Steel Chimney Liner. A stainless steel chimney liner is perfect to use with oil, gas or wood. The stainless steel chimney liner is available in a variety of shapes and is made to model to your specific chimney size. The catch with this model chimney liner is that regardless on which option, gas, oil or wood, that you use it with, you can not use it with another option later on. 3. Aluminum Chimney Liner. Aluminum chimney liners are economical and excellent for using to replace an old chimney liner model. The only catch with this option is that it is only recommended to be used with medium efficiency gas model appliances. 4. Cast in Chimney Liners. A cast in chimney liner is able to work correctly with all wood, oil and gas model appliances regardless of their size. This model lasts the longest and provides the best result because it is modeled completely to the inside of your chimney. However, the one drawback to this model is that it is the most costly of all available chimney liner options.

The best stainless steel chimney liners have metal alloys ranging from 316TI to AL29-4C. 2. 316TI is a stainless steel alloy with a small amount of titanium added to it which helps protects against corrosion. 3. Liners like FlexKing and FlexKingPro are made to be flexible to get around any dog leg or smoke shelfs. 4. A seamless vent, is the safest way to correctly vent from your unit up and out of your home! 5. Not all stainless liners are the same. What some don't realize is that stainless steel comes in many different grades of alloy. 6. A stainless steel liner, made with one of the above alloys, should be guaranteed for the life of your home, make sure it is! 7. When a metal chimney liner is installed, it is required by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to be insulated on the outside of the liner. 8. The National Fire Protection Association standard 211 (NFPA 211) also requires all liners to be insulated around the outside. Insulating the liner prevents heat transfer , from a chimney, to the outer walls of the chimney. Additionally, insulating the liner contains the flue temperature within the liner thus producing a hotter flue temperature which naturally increases the draft of the venting system. 9. Some liners, like the FlexKingPro, will increase the efficiency of your heating unit, usually at least 10% to 15%, which also SAVES YOU MONEY! 10. Finally, when properly installed, it is not only the safest way, but the most cost effective way to KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SAFE!

Why do the cornish tin mine chimney stacks have brick at the top half and not stone like the rest of the construction?
The top of the chimney was made from brick because this would heat up faster than stone, and if the top of the chimney is hotter than the rest of the chimney then the draught of air rising up the chimney would increase, therefore making the chimney more efficient.
Explain this phenomena when a fireplace smoke rises up the chimney faster when wind is blowing outside?
Bernoulli's principle - the pressure on the top of the chimney would decrease, due to the speed of the air.Bernoulli's principle - the pressure on the top of the chimney would decrease, due to the speed of the air.Bernoulli's principle - the pressure on the top of the chimney would decrease, due to the speed of the air.Bernoulli's principle - the pressure on the top of the chimney would decrease, due to the speed of the air.
What is the best way to install 12 feet of double insulated stovepipe in a fireplace chimney yourself?
Sorry but your question doesn't really make sense to me. Double insulated stove pipe IS a chimney. If you are LINING an existing masonry chimney these days, you would use a flexible stainless stell liner with an insulation blanket around it (or a special light filler material between the pipe and the chimney) so that condensation and creasote build up does not occur. If you actually have a straight shot you can purchase lenghts of straight pipe. The damper and lentel(?) shelf need to be removed in most applications.I would highly suggest you have a professional install the liner or at least guide you through the proccess. If you are wanting to install a double wall stovepipe in a chimney chase (wood framing), then you are looking at another situation. Usually the drywall and exterior siding is not installed until you have set the fireplace and run the pipe. The pipe has to be kept 1 to 2 inches from combustibles. The clearances can very from different manufacturers. A fire stop is required at each floor level. Once again a professional that knows codes and common practices should perform the installation or guide you through the proccess. GOOD LUCK, Mike V.
