Liner in a Liner?

[Whezy]

I have a Heatilator (metal prefab fireplace) attached to a 15' ish clay lined chimney. The flue has been lined with a 9" liner. My question is can I insert a 6" liner inside the existing 9" liner?

I am looking at installing a used Pacific Energy Super 27 -D in the Heatilator.

Sure you can. I'm surprised that none of the more "safety conscience" among us here on hearth have done this, just to be really safe!

You'll definitely want to do the 6" liner for best stove performance.

My insert is in a zero clearance fireplace which originally has an 8" metal chimney which a 6" insulated liner was installed.

Thanks. I picked up the stove for this project.

Pacific Energy. Model : PACIFIC INSERT -D. mfg 1993. Anyone have any idea of the heat output of this model? I'm hoping it will heat most of my 2000 ft/2 ranch.

The stove is getting a good clean and upgrade. Need: Baffle Retaining Pin (any idea where I can get one?). A few new bricks, new insulation, paint and thermometric switch and rheostat.

Hoping to have the block-off plate done this week for install after Christmas.
