2. Chimney liner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimney_liner

   Stainless-steel chimney liners have surface and proper sizing to prevent creosote from sticking around. If the chimney already has a stainless-steel chimney liner but the liner is fitted the wrong way up, it needs to be turned around otherwise the chimney can leak tar and condensation. [1] A flexible flue liner prevents a carbon monoxide leak ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_effect

   The stack effect or chimney effect is the movement of air into and out of buildings through unsealed openings, chimneys, flue-gas stacks, or other purposefully designed openings or containers, resulting from air buoyancy. Buoyancy occurs due to a difference in indoor-to-outdoor air density resulting from temperature and moisture differences ...

6. Chimney fire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimney_fire

   Regular chimney sweeping removes creosote and prevents fires in the chimney. Steps to prevent this buildup of deposits include only running appliances hot during the initial ignition phase regularly, only building short and hotter fires, regular cleaning of flues using a chimney sweep, and only using internal chimney structures where possible versus a chimney attached to an external wall.

7. Flue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue

   The heat from the flue gases is absorbed quickly by the bricks and then released slowly to the house rather than the chimney. In a well insulated home, a single load fire burning for one and a half hours twice a day is enough to keep an entire home warm for a 24-hour period. In this way, less fuel is used, and noxious emissions are reduced.
