Chimney breast flue direction

[Richard Lindsay]

Hi folks,

Looking to have a multi fuel stove installed in the New Year but when I look up my chimney breast, I notice that it is not a straight path to the roof but that it zig zags at the beginning.

Is this normal? Would I need to have this removed to fit a 5” liner? Any other things I should be aware of?

Thanks for your time.

Yes it's normal, doesn't need to be removed and can't be removed anyway.
