Hi All,
I am ready to purchase a new free standing stove for my family room. I am looking at the Jotul 500 but my questions are on the chimney. I have a new exterior chimney with 13x13 flue titles. The chimney is massive and there is plenty of room around the flue going up the center.
1) Should I use an insulated stove pipe up this chimney?
2) Why do I see so many recommendation for a chimney liners. Isn't the best approach to run stove pipe all the way to the top? In this case, why would a chimney liner be needed.
Thanks Bob
