Showerthought: our brush supplier rep in Cleveland said to measure the flue at the firebox, not the cap, and it fixed my sizing on 3 jobs
Spent two seasons ordering brushes off the cap opening and always ended up a half inch too big, so has anyone else been taught to size from the smoke shelf up instead?

My old boss swore the cap was the only measurement that mattered and we spent a whole winter eating returns because of it. Turns out the cap sits a bit wider on a lot of these older units once the mortar starts letting go, so the brush would grab fine at the top and then rattle around down at the shelf where it actually counts. We never got a straight answer from the supplier either, just a catalog and a shrug. Sizing off the shelf changed everything for us too, and now I keep a cheap tape in the truck just for that.
