Chimney Pots

Accidentally learning more new stuff today. Most of the best things I have ever learned have been by accident, probably why my adult children believe Dad knows more worthless trivia than anyone!

I was looking for information on Fabral’s website (www.Fabral.com) for standing seam roofing and at the bottom of a page was chimney pots. I’d never heard the term, so time to do some digging.

Chimney PotsA chimney pot is defined as, “a cylindrical pipe of brick, terra-cotta, or metal placed atop a chimney to extend and thereby increase the draft.” Chimney pots are also known as chimney stacks, Tudor chimneys or chimney cans.

Chimeny pots are open at one end, to attach to the top of the chimney flue, and vented open at the exposed (upper) end. While they are almost always tapered, they can be of any shape – round, square, octangular, etc.

A plethora of sizes and styles are available, in a multitude of designs and materials. Heights can range anywhere from just over a foot, to beyond seven feet tall!
