I think I'm going to order the liner kit from chimney liner depot, it's pretty close to a straight shot and it looks like it should be able to fit through the damper opening pretty easily. Do I need to insulate if I plan on cleaning the pipe yearly? As I mentioned I don't plan on burning 24/7 but maybe that makes creosote buildup worse? Chimney is on the exterior of the house. But then only having ~12' chimney length might mean it's hot all the way up when I am burning? $253 for the insulation kit seems steep when the liner kit itself is only $318.

It's a 10x10 terra cotta chimney buried in masonry (sharing a separate terra cotta chimney for the furnace exhaust) so there is plenty of room.

Take a look at the Magnaflex Insuflex. So much easier and cheap.
