Well it's almost show time for me. My PE Summit insert is arriving Thursday. I have my liner and I followed the advice given to me on getting it ovalized, the 6" liner is now 4"×7 3/4". I'm still torn on wrapping it in 1/2" insulation because it's an internal chimney and it still will be a tight fit (7"x11"). I have my permits on hand and am going to run an outlet up from the basement to the back of the fireplace.
The guy that is helping me who does this for a living is putting up a stink about insulating and adding a block off plate. It's a 20' length and he just said stuff some rotten cotton up there and be done with it. I'm definitely adding a block off plate, regardless of what he wants to do.
Any thoughts or feedback on this?
Thank Again For All The Advice!!

P.S. I decided to not add the insert to the basement yet, I have the liner but not the funds so I'm only doing the first floor for now.
