New insert help!

[Sc00ter079]

I recently was given a older Osborn wood burning insert. Now my question is what all is needed for instal... I know this is a very grey question because most situations are different. The current fire place is on the bottom level of a tri level. Before buying the house the previous owner had a stainless liner installed all the way up. Any tips would be great. I'm extremely handy but new to this stuff. Also if you could help with the cheapest place to get supplies that would be great. Thanks in advance I need to get the parts before my wife spends the tax return on shoes.

The liner should match the insert flue collar diameter. Typically this is 6". Is there a stainless appliance adapter on the end of the liner? If so it may be ready to go. If not then order one.

No the liner is much bigger it was just installed because the chimney of the regular fireplace was not in the best shape and we required the fireplace to be in working order before buying the house

How much bigger? Can you measure the diameter?

There are a number of places that sell supplies, anywhere from Local shops to on line sales, But I would be careful of "the cheapest" ones. They may indeed be cheap for a reason.

If it was sized correctly for an open fireplace it is going to be way too big for an insert. And if it was installed correctly you will really have no way to tie into it either I think you will probably need a new liner for the insert.

That's not all bad news. I imagine it's probably not too hard to run an insulated 6" liner through an existing 10" liner, if that's what it is.
