Hello,
I currently have a brick chimney that runs from my basement through my roof top. The bricks are in good shape. It has a 7in ceramic liner inside with a few hairline cracks. My plan is to insert a new stainless flexible liner to my stove in the basement. The only concern I have is the previous owner had their wood stove on the first level on the house therefore, a hole in the chimney and liner for a stove pipe. Do I need to seal this hole with more than a stove pipe pipe cover? or will the new liner going directly from the roof to my basement stove be sufficient? I realize I will be reducing my draft by reducing the diameter of my flue but from my research this should be ok.
Thanks for any replies
