This is a new thread to be more positive about our wood stove install that I have gone on at length about in "stonewalled on wood heat".
Today my father in law gave me a hand in putting the first part of our chimney liner in place. I cannot believe how simple a process this is. We ordered the duravent zero clearance chimney liner that is a liner, with insulation, and a rigid outer layer.
We simply riveted the three 4 foot sections on the deck then attached the mounting bracket which allows the liner to be suspended into the existing flue.... A ten inch square tile flue that has never seen a spark in its 28 years of existence..... Father in Law handed me the three sections up onto the roof and I walked it over to the chimney. 2 minutes later it was in place. I ran out of time this evening to attach the last two feet that we are adding to give us a bit more draft and to give some variance from the second flue which serves our main floor fireplace. The chimney is only 11 feet 7 inches so to be safe on the draft we will be running 14 feet of chimney in total.
Tomorrow I will head up to the roof to complete that portion before mapping out the double wall pipe from the liner to the stove.
It is hard to believe that we are only days away ( I hope) from being able to light up and warm up.
