There's nothing wrong with the stucco/parging job in the attic. Alot of people do that because it's easier than tuck pointing and pretty much hidden from sight. Have the chimney tuck pointed from the roofline up for aesthetics. Good luck. Matt

I meant as opposed to 304. Now I know better thanks to you. But is the AL29 readily available?scalabro wrote:I wish folks would stop posting that.franco b wrote:A warranty is only as good as who stands behind it and does it cover both parts and labor?
Type 316 stainless is best for coal and smooth wall is to be much preferred over a corrugated type which tends to hold fly ash in those corrugations.
Now is the time while it is being installed to think about ease of cleaning.
AL29 is FAR more corrosion resistant than 316.
Especially at the low exhaust temps of a Herald BB.

Unc, if those guys are still there see if you can give them your camera and take pix of chimney cap & flashing. It really looks like you still have a water problem as dark shaded areas in attic on chimney indicate a problem.

I think you are right. It looks like he has a roof leak right there. Maybe it's a good thing we all been up in the attic.J F Graham wrote:Unc, if those guys are still there see if you can give them your camera and take pix of chimney cap & flashing.

And I see absolutely nothing wrong with that chimney. The parging makes me feel even better about it.
Maybe NEPA needs a highly trained stove installation assault team to swoop in and save the day when necessary.

Agree. The bathroom area of the chimney looks like a homeowner tried to do a quick patching over old mortar instead of a proper job of repointing.franco b wrote:Those dark areas look to me like somebody's effort to re-point.

We have not yet heard if there is a thimble behind the wood trim or plaster/Sheetrock above the mantle.....I hope there is one hidden.
Fingers crossed.

^^ I agree, nothing wrong with it. It may not be the prettiest repair/patch job ever done but I can't see any reason to not use it.wsherrick wrote:I think you are right.

People may think it's some new government spy agency.J F Graham wrote:My son is a Blackhawk pilot. Think the Army would mind NEPA on the side of it.
I can see that starting another conspiracy thread. The Army's doing chem trails with fly ash.

I bet NSA has a drone for that pic! Uncle, before I put a SS liner in there, I'd price a poured clay liner( I think it's called terracote), but only if you feel what you have is unsafe. I'm hoping there is a thimble above the damper, that would be good for a trial burn.
What chimney is the furnace connected to? And, I'm counting red brick in the pic- what are the outside dimensions of the chimney? Will it support a 6" liner???(It looks kinda tight from my house)
