I purchased a home with a 13X13 clay flue lining that is 24 foot high and located in the center of the house. The fireplace is located in the basement and the chimney was inspected and OK to use with the fireplace.
I plan to install a wood stove and will reline the chimney with a 6 inch SS flex flue lining. I plan to insulate the top cap and insulate the block off plate.
The idea is not to insulate the SS flex flue and allow the SS flue to heat the clay liner and help heat the house with the radiant heat from the chimney.
Is this SAFE and does it meet most building codes.
