chimney guy came out today while i was at work and took a looksee. says the masonry fireplace/chimney looks great but recommended a liner (wood stove) and quoted $2500. he told my wife, however, that a wood stove & liner was a bad idea since we rent and can't take the liner out. i'm not sure if he was putting the hard sell on the pellet stove or what since i wasn't there. if anyone can tell me one way or another for sure, that'd be great. or, if i can install a much cheaper system (maybe myself even) and it won't matter if i have to leave it behind.
