I'm planning on installing a woodstove in our house this fall and have a few installation questions. I purchased the house about 5 years ago and had the chimney inspected last spring to make sure it was safe to attach another stove to.
Anyhow the previous owners finished around the chimney (probably after they removed their woodstove). I cut out the sheetrock and discovered the stovepipe hole to be 7" in diameter when I was expecting it to be 6" (the chimney is block with a clay flue). I'm planning on using double wall 6" stovepipe for my install and was wondering what I can do to safely connect it to the existing 7" hole that is already in the chimney.
