Smoke Chamber Parging

Your masonry fireplace has an area called the smoke chamber. In most fireplaces it can be easily viewed by shining a strong light up through the damper. Its function is to safely transition smoke and hot gases from your fireplace to the narrow flue of your chimney.

What Is Corbelling?

Roughly the shape of an upside down funnel, the smoke chamber starts just above the damper and ends where the chimney begins. The bricks along the sides of the smoke chamber are often stepped outward, one above the other, until they meet the flue. This is a process called “corbelling”. The corbelled brick in your smoke chamber will look like an upside down staircase.

Expert Smoke Chamber Repair

To protect the integrity and efficiency of your fireplace, the smoke chamber should be free of any gaps, cracks, or jagged edges. The corbelled areas of the smoke chamber should be coated with an insulating, high-temperature mortar to fill any gaps and to smooth out any jagged edges.
