I just purchased a Regency I3100 insert. Getting ready to take delivery and install it this weekend.
Got a couple questions:
1) Do I need to block off / insulate the opening around the chimney liner where it goes through the baffle opening? The liner comes with insulation wrap and the top flange, that the liner attaches to, gets sealed to the top of the chimney. If so, what type of insulation is safe to just stuff around there?
2) My fireplace has a small - 2" opening on the inside wall that feeds outside air into the fireplace. Do I just block it off or can I use that with the insert so that the stove is using outdoor air for combustion and not the warm room air?
Than you,
Boris.
