chimney lining for wood burning stoves

[ringoden]

Hi, apologies if this has been asked before. We are thinking of buying a wood burning stove and wonder if we really need the chimney lining. Our house is 110 years old with the original brick chimney. Any advice very welcome. Many thanks

Depends on the state of the chimney so impossible to say on here. First step, get it swept and ask the sweep for his advice.

Thanks Deluks for your advice, will do.

I`ll wager the £ of 1 metre of liner that it is very necessary
