My masonary chimney has a dampner that basically splits my fireplace flue in half when its open. The bar runs directly across the middle of the flue. I am ordering a 3" flex SS liner for my new pellet stove insert and it doesn't appear the 3' diameter flex pipe will fit in the space inbetween the dampner and the flue wall. I read articles online showing how to ovalize the liner but if I do that it won't be round at the end where I have to connect it to my stove. I am also concerned abou constricting the pipe so much. What to most guys do? Do I remove the dampner assembly (I don't even know if I could). This must be a common question although I can't find any threads on it.
I am trying to figure out what the actual diameter of the 3" flexpipe is. Is it 3" ID or 3" OD? I haven't ordered it yet so what I would like to do is go to the local Home Depot and pick up a piece of pipe that is the same diameter and test fit it.
Thanks...
