Finally,got the inlaws moved in today.I've posted before about their situation.The stove is going into the basement.It will go thru a clay thimble into a masonary chimney that is about 8 inches in diameter.I got on top of the house today and checked it out.The sweep said it was fine to burn,but there are several fine cracks in the tile.Can I run a flexible liner down the chimney and thru the thimble?There is not room at the bottom of the chimney for a tee as it is a dead end-there may be 2 inches below the thimble.If I can run the liner thru the thimble-it's 6 1/4 inches inner diameter,how would I connect the stove pipe to it and is this a kosher set up?
