Once ignited, the updraft of air within the flue will feed this chimney fire, causing it to grow rapidly and producing very high temperatures. |
An undersized flue simply can't handle the volume of smoke produced, and some of it will spill back into the room. |
This supply of fresh air is also important to help carry pollutants up the chimney, stovepipe, or flue to the outside. |
However, Jon Goodwin, for the board, said work on items such as an extractor fan, fire door, gas flue and expansion joints was incomplete. |
The flue gas is passed through an aqueous limestone slurry containing formic acid. |
Chimneys are created to allow smoky air to escape, so unless the flue is closed, warm air escapes, and with it, your heating budget. |
