Hello Everyone,
I have a situation similar to some of the people in this thread, bought a house in December 2017 in Indiana, brought a chimney sweeper and I was told I need a new chimney liner and a chimney cap and to convert open gas fireplace to wood burning one is a total of $3800. I understand my options are:
1) doing nothing (i.e., continuing to not use the fireplace)
Convert the gas fireplace to a wood burning fireplace AND:
2a) having a wood burning insert installed with a smaller stainless steel liner
2b) having a larger stainless steel liner installed so the existing open hearth fireplace can be used
My questions are:
If I choose 2a, how will I drop the liner through the damper? Damper opening is too small.
Can I leave the gas burner inside to startup the fire and continue to use for wood burning?
Here are the pictures of the chimney and fireplace:
