Anyone lined a house chimney with a stainless steel inert for a wood burning stove. Seems straight forward on paper but just want to make sure I am fully prepared before taking the job on.
I did it for a gas fire. 1 person on the roof to feed the coil down & someone inside to pull the rope.
Not as easy a job as you think. We had one fitted and the guy doing it had a nightmare as the bends in the chimney made it very difficult to get down. he had to break into the flue to cut a corner off one of the bricks/stones restricting it.Once this was done, he pulled it through by dropping rope down to pull on, this was attached at the top to what he called a donkey-a bullet shaped piece of wood which fitted the end of the flue to make it easier to pull through.
Hope this helps!

We're having this done next week marcus, 'cos Jules wasn't feelng confident enough, so the professionals are coming in.
There going to bomb the chimney first, then sweep, then hopefully the liner will fit in fine.
Good luck
don't forget the mica beaded insulation after the flue goes in, other wise you will get a damp problem

Why? I thought the insulation was optional to help stop gasses condensing in the liner towards the top.
