This site is a total trip...addictive too, trying to learn what I can the past couple months.
Thx all for being here!
Finally ready with a question(s) of my own:
With a flue like the following, does a rigid SS oval liner make good sense? Can it reasonably be insulated with something other than pour? (Do rigid liners have 316ti on the inside?)
· ceramic flue w/ inside measurement of 6.7” x 10.7” (or so)
· 19’ from damper to top of flue.
· top of 3-flue chimney is outside the house for 7’ on one side and 12’ on other
· flue for this fireplace is in center. One other flue is exhaust for house’s primary heat—gas furnace (and was warm today!)
· There are “concrete snots” [I learned that here!], but not much “offset”
· 26-yr veteran fireman-now-chimney-repairman& sweep assures that flue is fine for burning
· NFI-certified potential installers are willing to knock out some masonry, so damper size is not an issue.
Goal: install an Osburn 2200i w/ 6”-equivalent (rigid or smooth inside dual-ply flex?) liner with *some* insulation
Pix attached! (video TOO large!)
