I'm installing a new wood stove and new metal chimney. Then will remove my
old brick chimney.

I will rent a high-lift and begin removing bricks at the top, then work my
way down.

My house was built in the 30's, so I would imagine that I will be able to
just barely tap each brick with a hammer and it will come loose. Might not
even need to use the hammer.
