Most of the new EPA certified wood stove inserts now come with 6” diameter exhaust outlets. A lot of the manufacturers of these inserts require the stove to be installed with a 6” chimney liner.
After years of testing they have decided this is the only way to go to insure safety, proper draft, and maximum efficiency. After being in the business for over three decades, and seeing the difference between an insert just pushed into the fireplace as opposed to one installed with the proper sized liner, I would never install an insert in my own home without a chimney liner being installed with it.
Over the years virtually all of our customers who decide to go ahead and install a liner onto their insert say they notice the difference in wood used, efficiency, and warmth.
Their only complaint is they wish they would have done it sooner!
