best way to line chimney

[hammmitc]

here is the problem:

I need to use a 6" flexible liner in my existing brick fireplace but my flue opening is only 5 1/2" wide. The chimney will easily accomadate the 6" liner. The opening on the top of the new fireplace insert is round.

What is the best way to accomplish this without going crazy?

thanks in advance

Otherwise you can just cut the damper out.

If you can get away without ovalizing, I suggest it. Just cut enough of the damper out to accomodate the round 6" liner. Many of us have done just that. Matter of fact, most do.
