Hello, I'm new to hearth forums. I'm looking for recommendations on flexible chimney liners. What makes a good liner? Where do you find them? I need to install a flexible, insulated liner in an unlined block chimney.
New to forum/chimney liner sources.

For wood stoves i prefer heavy wall or midweight liners. And always insulate. You can get preinsulated or wrap the insulation yourself. Regular corregated lightwall will work but wont hold up as long as the heavier liners. Stay away from the 2ply smoothwall stuff
So a heavy corrugated liner is the way to go? What are the disadvantages of smoothwall. I assumed it was better?
Heavy wall and midweight are smooth wall and very durable. The 2 ply stuff has lots of durability issues due to its construction
