| 2009-11-08 | Art | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks Bart. I actually poured the crown before I received your advice. I used galvanized sheet metal with angle iron supports but I did not use the roofing felt. Shoudl still last longer than plain morter!. Thanks again, Art |

| 2008-11-01 | Aaron | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | You're right. I was just checking with others for answers. I finally got a hold of them and they said to heat up the flue and the smoke should should just get sucked up the chimney. |
