OK, I thought I had it nailed down. My masonary chimney is 28' from fireplace floor to the top of the chimney. My Earth Stove Pellet Stove insert owners manual says I need to line the entire chimney. The outlet on the stove is 3".
I talked to several supply houses online and I have no problem ordering a 30' length of 3" flexible liner from any of them. The material is Stainless Steel 304.
Just now.. I talked to a guy who used to install liners and who now is a supplier only. He told me that they don't know what they are talking about and that I need a 4" Stainless Steel 316TI liner because you can't go over 15' with a 3" flexible liner because it won't draft properly.
Now I am totally confused.
Is there a standard formula to determine the size and material needed for a pellet stove insert in a masonary chimney?
