We have a gas (propane) stove insert in our living room. This is original construction, not a conversion from wood. (We actually have 2 back to back, another in the kitchen, each with its own chimney)
The chimney is what looks like a 6-8 inch diameter stainless steel chimney.
We wanted to replace the gas insert with a pellet insert, but after placing the order and having the installers out, we're told "The chimney is too small for their insert". WHY??? can't they just use the existing cmney and tie it in? I know they need an insert for an old brick chimney, but shouldn't a stanless steel chimney installed in 2004 be good for a pellet stove????
Thanks for your advice!
