A chimney size

David L. Lee

Hi,

Just to let you know that I plan to replace from the old masonry block 16"x16", 6 1/2" square liner and its 32 feet high plus 2 feet over the roof. I use a boiler heater of the wood/hard coal.It's the Harmanstove SF-260. The woods is working wonderful, but not wonderful with fresh hard coal when an ash door open a full about 2 hours, then died. A boiler heater's flue size is 7 inch dia.
How can I figure what chimney size with 34 feet height ? or Can someone suggest me what best for my size and high height ?
The masonry store have 8"x 8", 8"x 12" and 12"x12" square liners.

Hope to help me,
Thanks, David Lee

This shows a pretty good sizing chart.

Make sure

you have adequate combustion air to that beast! You might have an HVAC pro take a look for healths sake

Most of the flue pipe manufactures will help you size the chimney properly. Special pipe is required for solid fuel applications. Try Metalbestos at 1-800-992 vent.
