Installation on a brick or stone chimney will require additional tools
and hardware. For example, drill bits for drilling into stone and mortar are
dierent from standard drill bits, and you may need a heavy duty drill:
Consult with a local hardware store for the correct hardware and
equipment to use.
For brick chimneys, drilling is usually done in the mortar between bricks.
A lead insert is installed for the screw that will hold the cleat in place. Once
the cleat has been installed, the rest of the installation is the same as the
installation into wall studs.
For stone chimneys, drilling may be done in the stone and does not require
a lead insert.
