A chimney is a structure
which provides ventilation for gasses or smoke from a boiler, stove, furnace or
fireplace, to the outside. It is normally build vertical, drawing air into the
combustion in what is known as the stack/ chimney, effect. The inside of the
chimney is known as a flue. Chimneys are found in buildings, steam locomotives
as well as ships. The type of chimney or flue you have usually determines your
choice of fire. There are two main types of chimneys available, masonry chimneys
built from stone and mortar, bricks, or blocks, and prefabricated metal
chimneys. Masonry chimneys are the most typical installed chimney in homes;
however metal chimneys can also be designed to specific styles these days.
