Now that I am on the cusp of buying an additional pellet stove I thought I should figure out my install first.
I would like to install it into a existing masonry chimney. The chimney was paired with a coal stove but for the past few years it has vented a propane space heater. One stove dealer told me I would have to run a flexible pipe through the chimney. Another told me as long as I had a good seal from the 3" pellet exhaust to the chimney utilizing a thimble adapter I wouldn't need to run a liner. What do you guys suggest? I am attaching a pic.
