Liners protect the masonry from the corrosive byproducts of combustion. In the tests, it was determined that if the flue gases were allowed to penetrate to the brick and mortar, the result would be a reduction in the usable life of the chimney. As the mortar joints wear away, heat transfers more rapidly to the nearby combustibles & dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide might leak into the living areas of the home. Modern wood stoves & gas or oil furnaces require a precisely-sized flue to perform correctly. An shodily-sized liner may lead to other creosote buildup in wood burning stoves and the production of carbon monoxide with conventional fuels.
