Hi to all.
Has anyone made their own terracotta flue liners from clay on their own property?

Hi Rodger;
I haven't heard of anyone making flue liners for RMH's.
But I don't see why you couldn't.
They would not work in the riser, but would be just fine as  piping thru a mass.

If you have the time and materials it sounds like a fun project.

It would depend on the use for the flue liner, and the character of the local clay. If you are looking for RMH channels in a mass, yes, it would be perfectly feasible. If you are looking for a chimney for a wood stove, that requires particular thermal and chemical properties which most native clays would probably not possess without correct additions and modification.
