MASONRY CHIMNEY
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs
of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated.
When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are
needed.
