Default chearance to combustibles
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?...

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.
