I would greatly appreciate advice and opinions on the best methods and materials to use for a fireplace chimney reline for installing a hearth stove. The following are the questions that I can think of.
HomeSaver Ultrapro (or similar flexible liner) or rigid ss liner like Heat-Fab relining pipe? (Obviously the rigid pipe would require a straight shot down through the flue.)
What is the best way to transition through the damper?
Is it possible to take just the damper out, and pass through the opening with a flexible oval liner?
Is it best to demo the damper frame and take out enough masonry to pass a round liner (rigid or flex) straight down through?
HomeSaver foil face flexwrap or HomeSaver insulation mix or TherMix?
What is the best way to seal the block out plate to the new flue?
Have any of your customers ever wanted to back to a fireplace after installing a hearth stove or insert?
What have I left out?
Thanks!
