Relining an outside-wall chimney
A chimney on an outside wall is exposed on three faces, and the gases inside cool quickly. That makes condensation and creosote more likely, and it is where liner makers point to insulation as worth its space even when the listing does not demand it.
An insulated liner keeps the flue warmer from bottom to top, helps the draft start faster, and cuts the moisture that settles on the walls. On each Tallulah-North Shore house, we say whether insulation is required by the listing or recommended for the exposure, two different reasons that are worth keeping apart. Where space inside the old tile is tight, insulation is weighed against the liner size the appliance needs. Call (904) 920-5495 and a liner specialist will measure your Tallulah-North Shore flue for free.

From proof run to capped liner in Tallulah-North Shore
-
Sweep and prove the flue
The flue is swept clean, then a test piece or cone is lowered to make sure the liner will pass every bend.
-
Size and alloy chosen
The diameter comes from the appliance collar or the fireplace opening, and the alloy from the fuel.
-
Liner run down and joined
The liner goes down with its insulation where the listing asks, and joins the stove, insert or smoke chamber below.
-
Top plate, cap and record
The top plate is clamped and sealed, the cap fastened, and you get the installation record.
A new stove or insert in Tallulah-North Shore
A stove or insert set into an old masonry fireplace needs a flue sized to its collar. The big fireplace flue above it is too large and cools the exhaust.
For stoves and inserts in Tallulah-North Shore, we run a listed stainless liner from the collar to the top.

When the chimney's clearances cannot be confirmed
A liner's zero-clearance rating depends on its listing and, for some systems, on insulation. Liner makers say that if the chimney's own airspace to combustibles cannot be confirmed, the liner must be installed with an approved insulation wrap.
Clearances can be hard to confirm: the chimney sits behind drywall, the attic side is packed with insulation, or framing was built tight to the brick. In those cases the insulated system is what the listing requires. We say whether insulation is required for that reason or recommended for draft and condensation. The insulation also takes up room, which the flue proof has to allow for.
When the flue is too big for the appliance
An oversized flue causes trouble too, though it shows up differently from an undersized one. Exhaust slows down in a passage much larger than the appliance's collar, loses heat to the extra surface, and condenses. The result is heavy creosote with wood and damp, acidic deposits with gas.
Liner makers set a floor and a ceiling for liner size: no smaller than the appliance collar, and in one maker's instructions no more than three times its area for solid fuel. A liner inside the oversized flue restores the right size without changing the masonry around it. The collar size and the liner size are shown side by side, so the fix is easy to check.
Sizing a liner for an open fireplace
An open masonry fireplace has no collar to size from, so the liner is sized from the fireplace opening. The code sets the minimum flue area at one-twelfth of the opening for round flues and one-tenth for square ones (FBC R1003.15.1), and liner makers publish the same kind of ratio for their round liners.
The width and height of the opening are measured, the area worked out, and the liner diameter chosen to meet the ratio. A large opening can call for a liner bigger than the old flue can hold, and the options are explained when that happens.

Relining questions from Tallulah-North Shore
Does a wood stove need a stainless liner?
The code requires the flue lining to suit the appliance, and a stove set into an existing masonry chimney needs a flue sized to its collar. Our answer is a listed stainless liner from the stove collar to the top, sized from the stove's manual.
Does a relined flue still need its own cap?
The relined flue does not need one. The liner kit we fit includes its own cap, which fastens at the top plate. If the chimney has other flues, their caps are checked, and any change is noted.
