Neal Lewis Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I see lots of crooked chimneys in old house attics, which were built intentionally leaning. I was told today by a chimney sweep that the chimneys were built this way to keep byproducts of burning coal from sloughing off the interior and clogging the flue. Sounds kinda suspect to me. I always thought old chimneys were built leaning to exit at the ridge for better drafting and to minimize the exposed area above the roof. Any other opinions out there?
