SMOKE CHAMBER

The front and back of the smoke chamber are also split into 

two pieces and can only be positioned one way. See Figure 

8.3 and Figure 8.4 for specific dimensions for the 60” and 

72” model, respectively. 

The side pieces are identical.

Remember to completely cover each component with 

mortar 1/2” - 1” thick where each edge of each component 

will lie or butt up against another component. 

Align the smoke chamber flush with the back wall of the 

fireplace, leaving an approximately 3” “ledge” on top of the 

radius throat front. This ledge allows space for a framing 

header to maintain the required 1” clearance.

Be sure to check for and maintain plumb and level 

installation of these components.

“Butter” all joints to give a smooth appearance and ensure a 

leak-free joint.

The final component of the smoke chamber is the chimney 

base. Both the 60” and 72” Linear fireplace kits require two 

chimney flues. As such, two interlocking chimney bases 

are included. Completely cover the tops of all 4 smoke 

chamber components with 1/2” - 1” of mortar before placing 

these final components and mortaring them together. Be 

sure both chimney bases are level front-to-back and side-

to-side.

“Butter” all joints to ensure a no-leak seal.
