Hello,
I purchased a stove last year. Some details are in this thread https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/newb-needs-advice.78393/ now it is time for me to get a liner.
I have some questions regarding this. My chimney is clay lined masonry. It is mostly inside the garage which will be heated to just above freezing in the winter. The last 8 or so feet are outside the house as can be seen in some of the pictures in the other thread.
I guess my questions are, the OD is 11.5 by 11.5 and the inside is about 9.5 X 9.5 so I’m guessing a 6 inch liner should not be too much of an issue to fit thru there? Ideally I’d rather not pay the extra for the insulation kit if I don`t need it. But if I do, then I can deal with that.
Another question is the liner itself. I measured the chimney from the top of current old stove to top of the terra cotta at 19 feet. Will a 20 foot liner be long enough? Its straight other than the smoke shelf bend, which I guess I measured kind of by going up from inside with a tape measure. I could buy the 25 feet, but again I’d rather not incur the extra expense if I don`t need to.
I guess the question is with the appliance connector, and the top plate. How much length would that give me? Does the top plate basically hold the liner right at the top of the terra cotta tile? Or a bit lower or higher?
Last question, for now at least. Does anyone know which place would be the best to order from? I am in Canada, so the main issue is the place with the best Shipping price. I was currently looking at Rockford Chimney, but am definitely open to others if they sell a quality product and offer hopefully cheaper shipping prices to Canada.
I`m sure i will have more questions as things become more clear to me. Thanks in advance for all the advice. I really appreciate this great forum and how helpful all the members are.
