    The colder the outdoor temps, the higher the draft. (All else being equal)

    I had my old clay liner swapped out for a stainless setup inside the existing brick chimney, and I had Masonry Service come out and inspect everything first. They cleaned up some cracking around the crown and repointed a few joints too. Super solid job and way better draft now. If anyone’s dealing with older masonry chimneys, it’s worth having someone knowledgeable check them out.

    Round stainless-steel insulated flues are superior to clay, in many different ways.
