In Reply to: OT: building a flue posted by mark on September 14, 2007 at 08:11:34:
mark said: (quoted from post at 08:11:34 09/14/07) I can't find a block layer willing to build a flue for me, so I am going to do it myself. The problem is, I've never done it before. I need to know how the liner is installed. Does it sit on angle iron, like a lintel, inside the block? How do you cut a nice clean hole in the liner to slide the round flue pipe in it? I ran a search and found lots of nothing! Any suggestions?
Concrete/cement or clay flue liner?
Start the flue liner atop the smoke shelf, not on angle iron, (expands at a different rate).
Use 'fire clay' mix in the firebox and between liners. Also parge the interior of the 'smoke shelf', for a smooth transition/flow.
Don't understand why you want to slide flue pipe into the liner?????? but, use a saw if you want, how big of a hole? Use a 4" grinder / a diamond or carborandum blade. Take your time.
I have downloaded County ordinances (diagrams) of chimney construction.
As the man said about the foundation.......listen to him, he's right. It's not pressure it's also about mass.
We grout ours solid on here, it's a rebar/earthquake thing, You do like you want, I've seen where critters can make they're homes there too.
....sl, been there, did that, use zero clearance now....

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
