8.2.3 Masonry Chimneys
The stove may also be connected to a
masonry chimney, provided the
chimney complies with the
construction rules found in the building
code enforced locally. The chimney
must have either a clay liner or a
suitably listed stainless steel liner. If
the masonry chimney has a square or
rectangular liner that is larger in cross
sectional area than a round 6” flue, it
should be relined with a suitably listed
6” stainless steel liner. Do not
downsize the flue to less than 6”
unless the venting system is straight
and exceeds 25 feet in height. When
passing through a combustible wall,
the use of an insulated listed thimble
is required.
8.3 Minimum Chimney Height
The top of the chimney should be
tall enough to be above the air
turbulence caused when wind
blows against the house and its
roof. The chimney must extend
at least 1 m (3
ft.) above the
highest point of contact with the
roof, and at least 60 cm (2 ft.)
higher than any roof line or
obstacle within a horizontal
distance of 3 m (10 ft.).
