Hi all, I'm interested in putting a Regency Ci2700 fireplace insert in to my existing masonry fireplace. Had the installers come out to take a look first and it turns out my flue opening is ~4" and evidently they need ~6" for the chimney liner. What are my options? Another vendor said that you can "chip out" some of the bricks to accommodate the chimney liner. Is this advisable? Thanks!

Thank you. Does this need to involve a masonry professional? The installer said this is not something they would undertake.
