Can I install my stove using an existing masonry chimney?
It is possible to install a stove using your existing masonry chimney. The chimney must comply with the building code of your country, state or province. It usually needs to be lined with refractory bricks, metal, or clay tiles sealed together with fire cement. The diameter of the chimney must be the same as the stove's flue outlet. If your masonry chimney does not have the same diameter as the stove's flue outlet, you need to insert a stainless steel liner having the proper diameter. Otherwise, you may face draft problems.
