¥.8. Chimneys forming part of a fireplace approved under
U.LeC. SGE106

This F.B.e chimney is inferior in quality to Type 1 above,

Zt is suggested that the inferior quality and inferior testing
procedures that are carried out are acceptable because of the
limitations created by the manufactured fireplaces

The supposition of adequate quality is invalid. Firstly, such
fireplaces are not restricted in design. Secondly, the
chimmeys are subject ts the same heat emissions and the same
creosote build up. Subsequently, a chimney fire would severeiy
impair the quality of this type of chimney.

té is net unusual to find in the "Cara and Operation Manual!" of
fireplaces approved under t.b.c. S610 statements of the

following nature:

"DO NOT use artificial logs, charcoal, coal, trash or woods
that have been dipped in tar, pitch, creosote, etc." and

"Use only dry seasoned solid wood.

The warranty for these fireplaces and chimneys depends on
following the directions in the manual.

Tt can be appreciated that the readily available artificial
legs, coal and scrap lumber will be used more frequently than
the mere expensive and troublesome "dry seasoned solid wood",
Apartment dwellers are unable to store the wood. needed.
