I'm planning a multi-fuel stove installation. I have a chimney with an existing cylindrical clay liner. One HETAS installer recommends a 904 steel liner (£1,000 +), the other recommends a Clay Pot adaptor (sump?) arrangement into the existing clay liner for around half that price which he insists would be more durable as well as cheaper. Disregarding the cash saving, which one would be best ? Thank you for any responses.
They are both correct depending on the condition of the original flu lining. 1. If it's degraded and the lining has become porous it cannot be safe therfore lining required. 2. If it can be proved that integraty of flu is completely up to par then yes connect to a sump adapter. If the house is more than 10 years old I would be reluctant to sign the flu off as safe without a liner. 904 liner is normally only for continual high heat usage such as coal.
