I am new to this forum as well as wood burning.... So help me out a little if you can please.......
Just purchased a Fisher insert a couple weeks ago and I have been doing lots of reading on this site prior to insulation to make sure I am safe with my new purchase. From what I have gathered on this site it seems like nearly EVERYONE puts a liner in their chimney with their inserts. I have a clay tile lined chimney that appears to be in good shape, it was cleaned just before we purchased the house about 8 months ago.
I am considering install without the liner due to the manual and some advice from family members who are wood burners/ firefighters. They think I will be fine, people on here say it's a no no.
My insert has the plates that seal off existing fireplace.. Am I stupid for wanting to install without a liner??
Thanks for any help
