Dust Collector FAQs: Does the type of chimney matter when installing an electrostatic dust collector?

In principle, any type of chimney suitable for a wood-burning stove can be fitted with a dust collector, whether it is made of metal, concrete or brick. It is important that the chimney is in good condition and structurally suitable for the installation or construction of a dust collector. In some cases, a chimney renovation may be advisable – but this would be long overdue even without a dust collector. Specialist chimney renovation companies can be found through the German Chimney Contractors’ Association.
