I recently had a fa455 dutchwest stove given to me as a first wood burner. The chimney is masonary but is going to need lined in the owners manual it says contact consolidated dutchwest for liner options. Does anyone no the size liner this stove would require? Opening of the flue adapter is 10.5x5".
 
According to manual I found on-line, you need to use either an 8" oval-to-round adapter or an 8" oval to 6" round adapter.
That tells me that you'll need either an 8" liner or a 6" liner. What is the size of the flue tile in your chimney?
 
Right now the opening is 7x11 and is going to be about 25' flue length, I also found this tag on the back of the wood burner which makes me lean to a 6" liner versus going bigger
 
Here's a picture of the tag.
