sand falling from chimney

Tomjim · 2020-03-02 07:50:46

In the last few days there is sand falling into the stove. I take it this sand is coming from the mix which was put in with the chimney liners when the house was being built. Is this dangerous, What should I do?

Yes the danger is carbon monoxide. Stop using it and get it relined.

There's no need to do anything to the clay flue pots or the sand but you must put in a flexiflue.
