A week or two ago, I stumbled across a CL ad for an Englander Wood Stove. I checked it out and couldn't pass it up for the price, whether or not it would work for me. The seller also threw in about 10ft of flex pipe and a stainless chimney topper.
Here's the little gem:
Inside Top:
Inside Cleaned Up:
Outside (came with a blower as well):
So, I'm considering tucking this into my current fireplace if it will fit. My fireplace is pretty small so it'll be a challenge if it's even possible.
Now, let's say it fits. People with open chimney's clearly need a liner all the way up, no questions. My chimney is 'lined' with a nice pipe all the way up. I *thought* I'd be good to go - attach the flex liner from the stove to the opening of the chimney and ta-da! Well, I took the face off my fireplace, cleaned it up, and took a few measurements. Again, I might be able to get this to fit in my fireplace. My new concern, though, is the existing chimney. The liner is 6". My chimney is 9". Can these be adapted? If yes, is it safe? I'm not looking to cut corners - just wondering if what I have is doable. If it's not, that's fine-n-dandy.
Fireplace:
(Don't mind the wire - they'll be cleaned up soon! I seem to finish one project and two more pop up!)
Chimney:
Let me know what you guys think.
