What is Flue?

The vertical passage running up inside the chimney that vents smoke, water vapor, and CO out of the house. You will find it unlined masonry (older builds, and a problem), lined with clay tile (the norm on most masonry chimneys), or metal-lined on newer construction. Once a flue cracks, it becomes a fire hazard.
