There is currntly a fire place in the basement with a 23.5 foot to the damper stone chimney. I will refinish the basement in the future so for now I would like to figure out my options. I am thinking a Drolet HT-2000 stove and I guess a flex liner up the chimney. Every stove shop I have spoken too doesn't even use solid liners and they say I do not have to insulate it. From what I have read solid and insulated would be better?
Can I just run stove pipe Into the fire place like it is ran now or is there a better option?
Right now I am heating with electric base boards and would love to do as much heating as I can with the stove.My location is Montreal Quebec. I would love to hear the ideas that you guys have.
