Book 3 — Safety Flue Stopper Made of Tin Pail
Reading edition
The usual method of covering stovepipe holes in chimneys with a tin disk is not as safe as it should be, especially adjoining nonfireproof material. A safer method is to fit a tin can, or a tin pail, into the chimney hole, as shown. Cut it off the right length, with a pair of tin shears, leaving projections as stops, and replace the disk stopper.—J. A. Raught, Janesville, Wisconsin.
