Hi,Â
New guy with questions.
I have a Jotul F 600. My chimney height is 13' 3" to the top of stove pipe inlet. The flue size i think is 7 1/4 * 11 5/8. I know the outside dimension is 12 5/8 * 8 1/4. I'm kicking myself now because I didn't measure the inside dimension. I only measure the outside to see what cap i will need.
To my question, I'm thinking I want a chimney liner so I can have better start up's of the stove. With the liner in place and the liner wrap with insulation I won't get the smoke coming in the room when I start a fire. Well I assume I will get better performance with no smoke enter the room by adding a liner. The other problem I see from the manual is the chimney shouldn't be shorter then 14' which I guess I'm pretty much at 14'. Also for the fire clay it says it should be 8 * 8 or no larger then 8 * 12 and if a round fire clay is used it must be at least 6". Can I use a 6" flex pipe for my flue?
Will I still get this draft if I use a liner. I have the outside door open when I start the fire and No matter how I start the fire, whether i use a dura log, fire gel or plenty of kindling and small branches I get smoke some smoke coming in the room on start up.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
