I just bought a house that has a new chimney that runs from the bottom of the basement to above the roof. The liner runs from the top down to the living area. I would like to install a wood furnace in the basement. Since the liner doesn't reach down to the basement I would like to install a 6 inch 14 ga. steel casing rather than a SS liner. I would like to know the opinions of some of the more experienced people on this board is this something that can be done and work or should I wait til I have the money and go SS. All comments are appreciated. Thank you
