After having a good sized chimny fire Saturday after last, with an old Country stove ainsert and an 8" opening into a clay lined fireplace with no pipe and fireplace flue in tact.
I bought a new Avalon Olympic this last Saturday with pipe and install kit but the soonest I can get anyone out to do an install is Jan 22. So I decided I willdo the install myself.
I have a masonry fireplace which is clay lined built in 1992 which has a flue in it. From what I understand is I need to cut out the flue sweep the fireplace and then start feeding pipe down from the top. of the stack untill I can get a connection to the stove hook it all up seal the space around the flue with a sheet of steel around the flue
pipe install the weather sheild on stack and pipe cap in short.
My father in law was a chimny sweep and installer for a long time (his own company) that I can call if I get in a snag. I have looked at diagrams and read alot so I hope Im not to far off. So any help from you guys would be great. I have been without heat since the chimny fire so I have to get this thing fired up.
Thanks John G.
