Installing new insert liner

[Colorado Boy]

Hey guys i am getting ready to install a new double wall flexible insulated liner to my existing older insert. I plan on doing the block off plate with roxul and doing the roxul below the top plate. The liner is 6 inch. It sounds like everybody has had good things to say after doing this. The chimney we have been using is masonry so I'm hoping my plan will push a lot more heat. I can only get the insert up to around 300 on the stove top which doesn't seem very high. What can I expect after I upgrade everything as far as performance. My chimney is 20 feet tall and has a 13 by 13 opening. Thanks

Better draft for sure. And a safer one as well.

Thanks, I was hoping to get some first hand experience from people who have installed liners that didn't have one to know how much difference it made.

Cam be a day and night difference, especially at high altitudes.

I installed two of them after not having them for close to thirty years. It was like have two whole different stoves. Just do it.

Thousands of posts here on installing them and the difference. Draft and dry wood are the keys to burning in any stove. Lessons I learned here.

as BB said you need both draft and dry wood
