Okay, looking for some sound advice here. Last year was my first season with an insert. 30 years of neglect before I bought the house had left the chimney in bad shape. We had a "small" (if there is such a thing) chimney fire at the end of last season. Had the chimney inspected and subsequently relined.
I've spent the summer doing stuff the right way. Good seasoned wood, studied on proper burning technique ect. Is there anything I need to do to "break-in" the new liner before I throw a large hot fire in there?

Thanks,
Roll Tide
 
That SS doesn't care.

As with any change to the system, just keep an eye on things as the stove may operate differently now.
 
Yeah, the increased draft could be a big surprise. Was to me back when I installed a liner with the old insert. Stove ran away on me.
