Local dealers wouldn't do a blockoff plate on our 30' external chimney. They supposedly did one at the top, and I know they used an insulated liner. I'm mechanically inclined and a tinkerer, I have no doubt that a blockoff plaate and stove install is within my abilities. (I didn't want to install the liner in our chimney because it's an 8*12 and the 5.5" insulated liner would have been brutal to get down. To me it was worth paying someone with insurance to install it.)
So now that the stove's in of course I'm getting sub standard results, good burn temps but cool rooms. First thing I'm going to do is fill air gaps in the house, next is install a blockoff plate. I have a good 9" above firebox to work with the HI300 in place. Think I can sneak a 2pc blockoff plate in there?
