When I had my chimney lined, the guys mixed up several buckets of wet insulation to fill in between the liner and the tiles. I know...one of a few different insulating choices.
What I'm wondering is...what happens in 20 years when I need a new SS liner?? I didn't think about it at the time, but it could be a serious PITA to reline my chimney again.
How will I deal with this when the time comes? Or, better yet, how do you installers deal with this issue?

Thanks

Installer brings regular liner+insulation for the "insulated liner" request. Is it normal?
