.. . 4 UINTAH BASIN STANDARD. October 19: 1988 Pam V. How to reline your chimney for winter With the ummeri heat breaking recorda all over the coun- try, it is hard to imagine that in a few short weeks we will be snuggling up to aeosy warm fire while the thermometer drops below the ' freezing paint Before that time comes, however, we should be making that annual check to be sure the chimney is in proper working order. At the very least, the chimney should backaned at tha beginning ofMch heating season, preferably by a ' professional chimney sweep. Do you have a wood stove, fireplace insert or gas appliance which is vented into an existing masonry fireplace? Do you intend to install one? If your answer is yes, the subject of chimney relining is of vital interest to you and your family. It is also ofvital interest to your insurance company. While it is important to have all masonry flues inspected on an annual basis, a common open firs type fireplace is a relatively light duty situation. However, when an air tight wood stove or insert heating device is vented into a masonry flue its a whole new ballgame. Chimney liners are designed for this heavy-dut- y service and listed by underwriters laboratories to insure adequate safety and efficient stove performance. If your chimney is not lined, you should be seriously considering doing so. . One reason for doing so is creosote. Thats that black tarlike buildup than can accumulate in your chimney. If it ignites, you are faced with a rowing 2100 degree creosote fire. If there is a loose flue tile, or a crack in the flue tile or mortar joints, the fire could prove disastrous. The fact is that wood burning stoves and inserts tend to produce far more creosote than a conven- - tional fireplace. These units are designed to operate with a 6 or 8" diameter insulated chimney. The tendency to from creosote is magnified greatly when these units are installed in an oversized, cold v masonry flue. A fireplace is' the home--' owners single most profitable investment, returning 138 of the original cost when toe house is sold, according to remodeling contractor magazine. A properly relined fireplace chimney not only protects and enhances toe value of the fireplace, it also provides years of warmth and eijoyment to the family, andean actually lower insurance premiums on the house. Most important of all, a property refined chimney protects the homeowners investment in his whole house by adding an extra shield of protection against a possible chimney fire. .
