Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How Chimney Length Affects Functionality
The height of a chimney greatly determines how efficient it is in exhausting smoke and gas produce from your fireplace. Chimneys work on the principle that hot air rises. When heat from the fire gets to the chimney flue a difference in pressure is created in relation to the air outside the chimney thus enabling the hot air from the fire to rise through the chimney flue outwards thereby expelling all exhaust from the fire.

The difference in pressure caused by the hot air in the chimney is known as draft and it is the draft that enables hot air to rise. Tall chimneys are known to produce a lot of positive draft at given pressure differences. It is advisable that when designing a chimney; the chimney system from the mounting surface to the chimneys top should be at least 15 feet. If your system is below this height you should consider adding your chimney height. The cheaper stoves might have baffles that aren't replaceable, it means stove is been ruined when baffle fails.

Issues with your chimneys – Suppose stove smokes in the room, inadequate chimney can be likely cause and creosote problems often will be lessened by the good chimneys. The low heating efficiencies will often get traced to the poor chimney draft— over 90% of wood burning problems will be traced to chimneys and draft. There are many more brands of creosote cleaning logs that home owners may consider. It comes with a one year warranty.

Fundamentals- Function of the chimney is double, first carrying undesirable products of the combustion (or smoke) out of your home: secondly supply draft (or pressure) to feed the air to fire. Draft of the chimney comes from tendency of the hot air to increase. They flow up of chimney is then determined by several factors like:
  • Chimney Diameter
  • Chimney Height
  • Bends in Chimney
  • Chimney Location
  • Tightness of House
  • Construction of the Chimney
Chimney Height- Taller the better! The taller chimney may have more of draft than the shorter chimney (other things stay equal). It is very simple to decrease draft in the chimney that is very strong, however improving draft on the short chimney will be difficult.

Diameter- The chimney diameter has effect on a draft of the chimney. In such case, however, to have chimney that is very wide (compared to outlet on a stove) is the problem as it allows smoke to cool, thus slowing this down. In case, possible, chimney diameter must be very much similar to diameter of flue outlet on a stove. Suppose the chimney is oversized, then you might consider relining this with smaller diameter flue. In no case it must be over three and four times at cross sectional area for a stove outlet.
