Richardk Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Can anyone explain why you would line a chimney when installing a wood burning stove? We're considering installing one in a rather large fireplace but are having trouble understanding the justification for the liner right now. Any ideas?

Weedon Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I am no expert but from my own experience it is because the inside of the chimney stack is ancient and perhaps not in fantastic condition and able to harbour sources of fire risk despite cleaning. Plus it will draw much better and you would not lose the heat rushing up the rest of the chimney. Experts may give other reasons for the need. Fit the liner and enjoy peace of mind.Mind you...you will still need to give the pompiers 10€ for the calendar when they come callingweedon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
