Factory-Built Metal Chimneys
These
are
sometimes
referred
to
as
'high
temp' chimneys because they have the specific
characteristics to withstand temperatures that can
be created by wood burning stoves. Factory-built
chimneys are tested as a system with all the necessary
components for installation. The instructions provided
with the chimney by its manufacturer are the only
reliable source of installation guidelines. To be safe
and effective, the chimney must be installed exactly
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Only components intended for the brand and model
of chimney should be used. Never fabricate or
substitute parts from other chimney brands. The
chimney must be a type suitable for solid fuel.
