However i will be still using my butner stove from time to time to heat the room. Am i ok to operate the stove as...

Thanks. I am planning to have all the central heating pipes sorted and done correctly before proceeding with a new boiler. The people I have had out mentioned a flue damper and a flue liner would stop the heat escaping rapidly up the chimney and therefore increase efficiency of the heat...
