Should NACHI inspectors note if there is zero clearance to combustibles next to a masonry chimney?

I don’t understand?
The exterior of a masonry chimney does not,should not, get hot.Therefore no clearance would be needed.
Are we talking about the actual chimney?..The hearth?..The mantel?..Opening around the fireplace?..NACHI?..A specific NACHI inspector?..

What state are you from Leanne?

That’s a secret, David.

Actually, I would bet that…like Walter Jowers…she is from your state and that her agenda here is NOT to be of benefit to NACHI.
