I have stacks line for 6 years and I can tell you: It's all very nice, but the wrong pipe stacks. He not serve long as there is no heat resistant. There will be problems when the need for cleaning. These tubes fit only gases and ventilation. But not for chimney ... Metal chimney liner must be no less than 0.8 mm and stainless steel. Then he will serve a long time and no problems with cleaning.

I have a gas furnace vented through my chimney. I'll be removing that furnace. Could I vent the wood stove through the chimney if I have one of these liners? Would I even need a liner? Nothing else will be vented through the chimney except the wood stove. If anyone knows, please let me know.

@1tydruk well there are 2 factors that you are not looking at 1- what is the cost. this will need to be a low cost project... I currently have found the prices I need to complete the project for under $700.. 2 this is going through a concrete foundation and then up the exterior of the house.

prefab class a is what you want for that which is zero clearence piping which is used on prefabricated houses that comes in 4ft sections and interlocks with 1 another an you have to have a firestop for each floor if youre running the pipe through the middle of the home. if it looks like a dryer vent its not the correct pipe even if it has insulation(alot of people make mistakes with this). what size pipe is comming off the stove?

@1tydruk not really an option now... we tore it off (see my vid) and are going to put doubble wall pipe up instead.

im a chimney tech..if the pipe youre burning through is too big for a liner to fit down the chimney the interior teracota clay may have to be removed which is called tile knocking and can allow a bigger pipe to fit inside.these guys are using bs sinle wall linings which dont last

that would be a good action to take but I have my own chimney sweeper and another vital fact is that this Chimney has Never worked properly since it was installed by the previous owner 15 yrs ago.

call a local chimney sweep for an inspection. it might cost 100.00 but its money well spent. im sure its just a simple problem an experienced chimney guy can figure out.

that was the original thought but then we realized that the brick chimney is a lot smaller than the pipe coming off the stove. it does revers draft well if you like a cold house or a house full of smoke.

build it higher with brick. find some used brick and type n mortar and start building. its more complex than that but its the cheapest way to go if you can learn how to lay brick.
