Why doesn't rain come down the chimney into the fireplace when smoke can get out the chimney?
Question:
Answers:
it does come down the chimney but there are traps thats another reason why you need to get your bricks repointed the chimney gets smaller as it decends and there are 45 degree angles that keep the water from comming down to the fireplace
Cause it has an umbrella on top.
the little bit of water that does come in is usually absorbed by the masonry before it reaches the bottom. your smoke shelf will take care of any that reaches the bottom...
