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.
