I just took a few pictures of my Lopi flue liner with roughly 1- 1.5 chords ran through it I have been experimenting with this stove due to over draft. How does this look? First two pics are now last one is after I cleaned it last fall.

Great looking chimney.
BTW - Cords not Chords ;)
 
Top side is not easily accessible it sticks up over the roof peak a good bit which is snow covered right now. This insert has high draft so I added extra firebrick between the firebox and the secondary burn chamber to slow it down since a damper appears to be almost impossible to add. The fire is tamed down a lot and burns nice now stove top temps are a little low 400- 500 F range so I was a little worried, but the chimney looks good so I will continue with it.
Great looking chimney.

Thanks I think spell check got me I will fix it
 
All wood was standing dead about 2 years then split late last winter and covered since last spring.
