Hey gang. Three seasons ago I bought a 25-PDVC for a couple of reasons. None involving heating the house. Burned two bags in it in my basement office and then retired it for later and put the Jotul F3 back in. This year during the HD sale-a-thon on Stove Chow I bought three tons and plan on putting the pellet puppy back on the pipe for next Fall to waft a little heat up the basement stairs on milder days and for something I can start and stop in the short periods I am doing stuff down there. Lot easier than firing up the wood stove.
Question is, anybody with experience burning a pellet stove into a wood stove chimney liner? The liner in the basement flue is 5.5" 316ti and is 30 feet to the sky. Any good, bad or ugly about burning a pellet stove into it? It seemed fine for the couple of bags. I have a stainless adapter from the Simpson pellet pipe to the liner at the thimble.
