What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?
The '3 to 10 rule' for chimneys refers to a general guideline for the height of the chimney relative to nearby combustible materials. It suggests the chimney should extend at least three feet above the point where it penetrates the roof. It should also extend at least two feet higher than any part of the building within ten feet. This helps prevent embers from igniting the roof or surrounding structures. This is a safety standard professionals consider.
