I currently have an old Franklin Stove that is vented out the side of my house. It is an 8” chimney. It burns nicely but of course not efficient. Goes thru wood quickly. My husband wants to replace it with a Heritage which is 6” and I am wondering if that will work. My stove currently is in the basement and not very well insulated.

If the draft is sufficient, then the Heritage will work. If the basement insulation is poor to none, then the heat loss will still result in high wood consumption. In that case it might be worth considering a simpler stove with higher output.
