Chimney Lining

[Matthew_Hopkins]

What’s the ruling on lining chimneys with gas logs? Generally we want to see a chimney liner for gas appliances in the chimney because the gas can deteriorate the chimney, but each time i see gas logs, the chimney is not lined.

With the change in use of the Fireplace, Chimney and/or Flue, a Level 2 Inspection recommendation is warranted.
