The '3 to 10 rule' generally refers to ensuring your chimney extends at least three feet above the highest point of your roof and at least two feet higher than any part of the building within ten feet. This helps with proper draft and prevents smoke from blowing back into your home. It's a key safety guideline for chimney construction and maintenance.
