What type of stove pipe should I get?

[jessek21]

Ok, so I bought a Avalon wood insert today.

I am going to install it in a basement hearth that has an existing chimney. Is the following piping acceptable for this type of installation? I don't think I would need a double walled piping.

Before I do the installation should I have the chimney cleaned?

Anything else before install?

Congratulations. Yes, absolutely get it cleaned and inspected before installing.

I don't see any following piping information posted. Also, can you describe the existing chimney in detail listing height, current liner, and interior throat dimensions?

Sorry about that, here is what I was looking at. It is a flex pipe system.

I will take some pictures and measurements today.

Ok so here are some pictures of the fireplace I purchased along with some pictures of the fireplace hearth, inside the hearth, damper and condition of the bricks inside.

One question for inside the insert... should I replace any gaskets, those tubes with holes in them, or anything? I am currently repainting the outside of the stove with stove paint.
