I am ready to install my new VistaFlame VF-55-FS. I am replacing an old Vermont Castings Defiant Wood Stove. Last year I installed a new 8" MetalBestos Chimney. The venting off my new VistaFlame is 4". Can I use a 4" to 8" adapter and vent directly out into my 8" MetalBestos Chimney? My local dealer says no...I should either take the chimney down and vent directly out with 4" pipe. Or if I want to use my 8" MetalBestos Chimney, I need to send 4" pipe down this chimney to connect to the stove at 4".
