Chimney Relining and Venting
If you have a chimney now, it may or may not be used to service the appliance you want to purchase.  A chimney must never serve more than one appliance.  Appliances may never share flues.  You may choose to hire a certified chimney sweep to perform an inspection.  Most sweeps have video inspection equipment that allow them to record what is found on tape and shown to you later in your living room.
Regardless, all woodstoves perform better if a 6" exhaust is used from the stove top to the top of the flue. Freestanding woodstoves as well as wood fireplace inserts benefit from a stainless steel liner.  The liner will increase and conserve the flue temperature making startup faster and easier, having less creosote formation, and offer an additional level of
safety.

If you don’t have a chimney, one must be constructed.  A metal "class A" chimney system from Limeport Hearth and Stoves will cost about 25% of a masonry chimney and will perform better. These chimney systems can be constructed in a day or so using basic construction tools and skills. By following all local codes and manufacturers instructions a proper woodstove chimney installation will serve you faithfully for years to come.
Pellet stoves require a smaller pipe/vent and therefore can be easily installed in a matter of hours.  Pellet stoves also require hearth pads for floor protection.  Corner installations are made easy with the use of elbows and wall thimbles.  Pellet stoves have minimal clearances to combustibles and are great for space saving situations.  A pellet stove can use an existing chimney, providing one is available.  Since pellet stoves are so efficient, they have a low exhaust gas temperature.  To expedite these gases out of your chimney, we highly recommend a chimney liner.  Pellet stoves use a 3" or 4" stainless steel liner that connects to the pellet stove and extends to the top of your chimney.  

The staff at Limeport Hearth and Stoves are committed to offering quality products that support better operation of our stoves.  Although liners are generally not required, they are almost always recommended.  Your stove will perform better and provide a higher level of satisfaction.  We always have the most popular lengths of liner in stock, and can special order any size or length your installation requires.
