Thankfully there is a few primary guidelines for somebody trying to select the proper size of chimney pots. One important point that should be noted is that a properly functioning chimney pot has a lot to do with the top opening in reference to the fireplace opening; as well as the base dimension of the chimney pot in regard to the flue that it covers.

• The flue area is commonly about hundred-and-tenth the size of the fireplace opening for square flues. As around flues the area is commonly 1/12th of the sizing of the fireplace opening.
• For chimney pots the ratio is usually only hundred-and-fifteenth to hundred-and-twentieth.
• The inner base proportion should be as big as or bigger than the biggest dimension of the flue it is going to sit on.
