Advice needed

Digging right into it! My current set up is a fire place and obviously puts out zero heat! So I bought an old lopi insert that fits perfectly into the hole! Issue is my clay liner is 12”x8” and my flu outlet on the wood stove is 8”. So if I knock out the clays will there be enough room for a 8” flex liner with insulation?? Or do I need to hull this beast out of my basement and find a 6” insert?? Thanks I’m advanced

Think I would to still need to knock the clays out with a square liner?? Would a square short adaptor from the insert the clay liner be enough or would I need to run square liner all the way up?

Do oval not rectangle and I don't know if you will have room for an 8" equivalent oval with insulation or not in your chimney without being there. And yes you need a full liner.

And you'll need that crown repaired/replaced.

how tall is the chimney? If its greater then 20ft from the top of the fire box you may be able to get away with the oval liner one size smaller then the 8" but still larger then the 6" which will make installation a bit easier, also with the slightly smaller one you can wrap it or have it prewrapped with insulation which is added protection incase you ever have a chimney fire, dont forget the anchor plate, cap along with the insert collar adapter which will allow you to attach the liner from inside the insert while its in place (way easier)

So unfortunately talking to a chimney company he is having a very hard time finding a oval liner. Any chance I can get a 8” liner and kinda oval it myself 😅?!
