Outside Air Turbulence: The outlet of the chimney must be sufficiently away from the peak of the building, trees, or any other obstacles which may create air turbulence at the top of the chimney. Chimney Size: A chimney needs to be of the proper size to handle the quantity of smoke given off by the fire. If it's too small smoke can't get through, too large and the flow becomes turbulent as well as the column of smoke becoming more dense. Too large a chimney is usually not a problem. Size of Opening in Smoke Chamber: The smoke chamber opening needs to be the proper size for similar reasons that the chimney needs to be the proper size.
