I'm looking for opinions on my install.
Stove will be in family room (lower level 52 X 28 bi-level.
About 20 years ago I lined the fireplace (masonry outside chimney 12 X12 clay flue)
Its lined with a 8 inch round SS liner. I filled the gap with rock wool insulation.
Its about 20 feet in height. I have had no draft problems.
I'm debating dropping a 6 inch liner inside to 8 & insulating it the same way or perhaps with Perlite.

Since these stove burn so clean I thinking I could eliminate the clean out tee for a easier flowing double 45 degree 6 inch directly into the stove from the clay flue .
Just take the pipes apart for an annual cleaning.
Should I go through the trouble changing to the 6 inch or just connect to the 8 inch that's already there?
Thanks , doug
