npub1wwc9vmthqxuxr0r9g6l6wjlc7mpeyqn4zhjg5l5fswplyvlc8dfqfr88qz (npub1wwc…88qz) It is entirely possible the entire chimney/stack/firebox settled over the years (mine has done this) and when there was a repair done there was enough room to need another course and it was too expensive to redo the entire thing so that the whole chimney didn't have to be dismantled and rebuilt. Mine has settle enough that my hearth was rebuilt when I bought the house, but the chimney still seems to be okay, though I need repair on the top 10-12 levels some time soon.
