the flue pipe from my boiler runs directly to the hole in the chimney
The flue is the actual pipe or chimney where the damper is the mechanism that opens and closes the flue
I just had a wood burning whole house stove installed by a pro chimney dude. Within 2 months, the flue pipe for the chimney was leaking smoke into the house. It was leaking at the pipe joints. I went out and bought some muffler repair tape at the auto store. It's made by Permatex and is rated at 1000 degrees. It stopped the leak and continues to work fine.
The inside of the chimney. The flue carries smoke and combustion gasses out of your house. The clay tile traditionally used to line a chimney is known as a "flue liner".
"The flue on the chimney was closed, causing smoke to move out into the room." "Damaging fires can occur when unburned material called creosote accumulates on the metal flue and in the upper chimney."
