Hi All,

I purchased a "floor model" Breckwell P24I Pellet Insert to replace my woodburning insert. In researching the best price for a new 4" Flex Liner, I came across an apapter for 3" or 4" to 6" pipe. I already have a 6 inch flex flue installed in my chimney. The flex flue is only 5 years old and has been cleaned yearly with little to no creosote. The flex liner run is about 23 feet to the cap (12" over the chimney). I'm just concerned about the draft.

Thank you!
 
I have my pellet stove venting into a 8" stove pipe, and no draft problems.

Thanks. I searched for a while on the forums and saw that. I think I'll go that route (cheaper) due to not having any issues with the wood insert.

Again, thank you for the reply!!
