Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Chimney Liner Sizing Chart Demystified
It is important that when installing a chimney liner the flue size left is able to support all the products from your fire place. Most flue manufacturers have come up with ratio for the size of the fire place to the cross-sectional are of the flue. This ratio has influenced the development of chimney liner sizing charts to be used as a guide when making purchases. The commonly used ratio is 1 to 7.

If your chimney has a smaller diameter then you are likely to have problems with the functions of your chimney; you may experience drafts of fire products flowing back into the house instead of flowing out through the chimney. In other words your chimney will partially drain or fail to fully drain smoke from the chimney letting it back in to the house. With a chimney liner with a large diameter, you are likely to lose a lot of heat through the chimney thus greatly reducing the effectiveness of the heating unit. It is thus important to use a chimney liner sizing chart so as to ensure maximum efficiency of your chimney. When planning on installing a chimney liner, it is advisable that you contact a professional or use a chimney liner sizing chart available at most distributor shops.

Best method to size the chimney liner is dropping the tape measure from top of a chimney crown & measure distance from this point to thimble and opening where the appliance or stove may connect to chimney.

Selecting Chimney Liner Diameter

The general rule is seeing what size of outlet is at your stove and appliance. In many cases, the fireplace inserts need 6inch diameter chimney liner. The wood stoves normally need 6 to 8 in the diameter chimney liners. For any situation you must first consult manufacturers details of the appliance before installing the liner. Size that you use is related to functional performance of the chimney. When we stress importance of such factor, do not get alarmed. In regards size specifically refers to diameter of the liner not length, even though length is the factor of performance.

Suppose liner diameter is very small then your chimney won't "draft" rightly. Just put, it won't exhaust easily and in a few cases it won't exhaust at all, thus backing smoke up in your home. Alternatively, if the liner diameter is very large, you may lose huge amount of the heat up to your chimney decreasing efficiency of the heating unit. Since you can see right size liner actually is important to the performance. It is as well very important to note the temperature of the liner or chimney is also the critical factor for properly drafting the chimney. Warmer the chimney is, more it can draw smoke up & out. For this reason, some people might improperly size the liners, and whenever they install the woodstove and wood burning insert in warmer months, it works fine, however in winter, smoke will back up in the house.
