Enjoy your stove, we do and we get plenty of free wood from industrial estates too, the companies are glad for us to take it we bought a cheep trailer for the car and a table saw for cutting the wood.

Hello i fitted a log burner 2 years ago and you don't need to fit a chimney liner if the chimney is in good order. First check the draught up flow. You can do this by buying a small smoke canister and setting it off in the fire place, then check that the chimney draws the smoke up and out of the top. This will also allow you to check any rooms that the chimney passes through including the attic to see if any smoke is entering the rooms, this will tell you that you have a fault in the chimney that will need to be rectified or you need to fit a flexi liner. You will also need to look out side in order to check the brick work and mortar joints for leaks. If all is OK then all you need is a 1m length of stove pipe to ensure that the smoke/fumes from your log burner go straight up the chimney. Hope this has been of some use.

It may not be required, but its a good idea. It depends on the size of your chimney. If your wood is at all damp, you will get tar depositing on cold chimney surfaces - worse if the chimney is a big one. These can build up and cause major problems and chimney fires. I know, I lost the roof because of this.

Depends on the condition of the chimney, but in most cases it is a LOT safer to put in a liner.

Answer 5

are you willing to risk the life of yourself and your loved ones by not installing one? if it were safe we wouldnt be hauling flu liners up the scaffold every time we build a chimney. with a flu liner you only have a joint every two ft. with a bare brick flu you have hundreds of bed joints and head joints for cracks and holes...they can drop an air filled bag down the chimneys and pour you a new flu. or you can have a stainless flu liner dropped in from above. check with a local chimney sweep or mason contractor and get some advice from them...built and pointed hundreds of chimneys

Answer 6

No. Chimney liners are only needed with a gas fired back boiler because the by products of burnt gas can corrode the chimney brickwork. All you need to do is to have your chimney swept about every 3 to 4 months.

Answer 7

local code will dictate whether you need it or not. All heating systems in my part of Canada require a chimney liner , (where a chimney is used as an exhaust port) whether it is oil fired , wood fired. Check with your insurance carrier and they will tell you what is required.

This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

Answer 10

You should have a metal liner as otherwise the tar coats up in the crevices of a standard chimney
