Saturday I got my liner put in (Thanks chimney liner depot!!) great product for the DIY kind of guy. My FIL came over in the afternoon to help get the liner put down the chimney and it went very smoothly. The only issue was at the smoke shelf which I knew I was going to have. We had chipped and ground out a bunch of the brick to make sure it would fit and it did. The problem now is that the liner and the stove don't line up(see picture below). The plan was to push the stove all the way back into the fireplace (only 13inches deep) and this would give me the clearence on the front for the hearth(16inches min) though i do have 1-2 inches i can play with on the front. I am thinking the way to go is the pull the liner back up into the chimney a bit and then add some kind of connector down to the stove to help take up the offset and the angle. Right now i have an Apliance adpter at the bottom of my chimney liner and would like to just hook up to that...but understand if i need to take it off...

The two choices i have seen are either an offset box for and insert (http://chimneylinerdepot.com/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=64) or one of these (http://chimneylinerdepot.com/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=363)

Do you have any better suggestions or other suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

It almost looks like a 30 degree elbow and pushing the liner up the chimney a little bit might do the job.....hard to say though.


On an unrelated side note, I didn't design that stove, but I did design that door, hope you like it!
 
I have neverunderstood why folks want to put the stove in the old firepalce. It seems it would work much better out in the open.

If you have that option..........some do not.

I know for myself it was a matter of room. With a blower IMHO it does a fine job
. But if I had to do it over I would have tried to leave it freestanding instead of placing it in the fireplace.
 
It's all about having that option. I really didn't even consider a free standing stove in the center of my living room. It's basicly our "play room" for the kids (2yr and 1yr) so the other 6 months out of the year it would just be "in the way".

someone else on a PM suggest a 30deg stainless elbow vs. a standard black stove pipe style. I am going to bring home the angle finder from work and check it out if i am closer to 30 or 45 (I am thinking 30 also) Then will order up an adapter and be on my way.

Yup so far so good. Comes off easy to move help lighten the stove while moving it around:) Now if i can only find what the wife did with my spring handles I will be all set...all I remember at this point is her asking me "Are these things important" about 2-3 months ago...

Even though the manual says you need 16" in front of the stove, I believe that's been up'd to 18"

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.
