Just spoke with Englander, and they said no problem, but it was one of those calls where you know the person on the other end is new --he put me on hold for a second and came back with, "yeah, the senior techs say it's fine"
Grant it, this is just what I want to hear because it's not looking like getting a 6" liner up the chimney is going to work.
So, my question to you all is what do YOU think?
I've got somewhere between 30' - 35' of flue, so I think (hope) this will make up for a reduction in liner size; (yes, I've searched and read a bunch of posts on this issue)...what I'd love to hear is from folks with this Englander. Alternately, I'll consider the smaller 17VL too if it can function better/safer than the 13 with a smaller liner, but I'd like to get as much heat as possible. Also, would a smooth walled liner help to counter the reduced diameter?
Thank you!
