Calculate the flue diameter for your open fireplace, according to the European standard EN 13384-1. Enter the fireplace opening, with 1, 2 or 3 open sides, and draw the chimney with its height, the cap on top and the offsets. You see straight away which diameter you need, whether your existing flue is big enough and how much fresh air the fireplace needs.
