So I'm trying to figure out how to safely install a buck insert in my outside brick fireplace. The number of adapters and liners available is mind bogling.
Problems:
clearance above stove is only about 5 in
chimney flue is only about 5 or 6 in and the stove requires 8in liner
I can't afford to spend a ton, if I could I would just buy a new insert
I found a cast iron boot that had a pretty low profile and should solve the clearance issue.
Can 8in liner be ovalized enough to get through my flue? The price of the oval and rectangle liner is too high.
I s there no adapter that is maybe 8 in on both ends but rectangular in the middle to go through the flue. this seems like it would be a very common problem.
Thanks
