When installing a pellet stove into an existing masonry chimney do you need to attach the exhaust pipe to a flexible liner and run it to the stop? I have heard that is the way to install it but I have also heard from a stove dealer you don't have to run the liner just went to the chimney and you should be good. any suggestion? attaching a pic of my application

If you have a lined chimney that's up to code, you can connect to it with single wall pipe from the stove to the chimney, just like a wood stove.
agreed, but you are going to find out this is a local code issue......some installers will not connect to a clay tile lined chimney without a liner....BJN644 said:

2 things determine the answer.
1. Manufacturer requirements
2. State and/or local codes
Mine does not have flex pipe.

I suggested that in an earlier post about a guy who was putting a pellet stove in his garage, and got jumped all over, basically saying that if the building official ok'd it, its safe.........funny how its safe in some backwater town, but most other places recognize the folly of doing so....go figure.....end of rant
