I was at a home today which a while back had a lightning strike the
chimney and explode the top of the chimney off. On the drive home I
got to thinking, I have two metal chimney liners, one for a first
floor wood-stove and another for the furnace and only the furnace
liner is indirectly grounded, I guess, via the furnace ground. If TV
antennas need to be grounded should chimney liners be grounded as
well?

Thank you for your thoughts!

Don't know about the chimney liners but being a fireman went to a few chimneys
blasted apart, in fact one down the street from me. So nature always wins...

I would place a properly installed lightning rod and make certain the whole
house electrical system is up to snuff.
