So i put my stove in a few years ago and have been extremely happy with the performance. Now the wife has decided it it time to finish the basement so i guess i have to choice. My question is how do i close up the old fire place and what is the proper way to run my stove pipe into my liner? Right now i just have the stainless snub flush with the cement and i have stuck the stove pipe into it.
