I was going to replace the ZC fireplace in the basement, but instead we are going to rip it out, and build a hearth for a fireview in the spot that the inside chase runs up through the house (4'x5' hearth) on the main floor. I was going to buy all the venting from woodstock right away too. I need a 8'-9' ss chimney and it looks like it will be 800-900 bucks. Would I be a lot cheaper off if I just used the simpson stuff that menards or farm and fleet sell or is the brand that woodstock sells superior to that stuff?
