Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but we've opened up our 1930's fireplace, and have cleaned out the chimney.
We were going to buy a stove with a 5" flue, and thus bought a 5" flue liner, and that is now installed.
The problem is we've now been given a stove with a 6" flue hole, though looking at the manufacturers web site, it seems it was 5" about 6 months ago, and it's now 6" on the new model, seemingly to accomodate the "multi-fuel" option. We only ever intend to burn wood, as we have tons of the stuff ready dried (and more growing) and ready to burn...
So, key question is... do I have to pull out the 5" liner and spend another fortune on a 6" liner, or can we use the 5" liner?.
If we can use the 5" liner, how can we connect the 6" flue pipe to the 5" liner?
