Flu liner question for pellet insert

[dradam1]

Currently have wood insert and thinking of going with a Quad. pellet insert. Currently have 6" stainless liner for wood insert about 28' long. One dealer told me I would need to replace it with a 3" for pellet stove. Another said they could adapt a 3" to my 6" and save me some $$. Who is correct? Will there be too much draft with the 6"??

Would think the way to go is to adapt to your 6". The 3" is way too small for 28'. Others will chime in here soon with more info. If not give this post a bump earlier tomorrow as it gets quiet around this time of night. Also, Welcome to the forums !

I've got about 25 feet and its a 4inch. I'm sure the 6 would work just as well for you.

I would clean the heck out of it though before you do the install.

Out of all the inserts we done, none have a 3" liner. We use 4". The 6" should work for you but you will need an adapter and use s/s.
