Putting in a Jotul F3 in the hunting camp. I'll be using an insulated liner. The issue is that the damper opening is slightly smaller than the OD of the lining. The secondary issue is that the current chimney cap is so heavy that it cannot be removed. The stove I believe calls for a 6 inch stove pipe. I could cut a larger hole in the bottom and pull the liner up, but we are talking some heavy metal inside the damper. Can you go with a 5 inch to make it squeeze through? Other ideas? Additionally, I'm looking at ways to level the stove that might look more aesthetic. I knew this would be the place to get the answers!
