    Hi really sorry if this has been asked before.

    I have a Bellingham insert stove and I would like to fit it into my mam and dads house. the chimney in their house is a really old open chimney no liner at all and its built from red brick, there is a cap at the top with 2 pots on it.

    what would be wrong with dropping a flexi liner down the chimney and connecting it to the stove and fixing it to the top of the chimney.

    I can get my hands on a 4 inch straight pipe galvanised steel 2mm wall, it is used in ducting for industrial extraction, it would go from the back of the stove straight out the top of the chimney, would this be as good as the flexi liner and it is all one piece and rigid or is this a terrible idea.
    I can get this piece of pipe for free that is why I ask.

    Thanks mick

    Terrible idea.

    Galvanised steel is not suitable for solid fuel as the gases that are vented condense and form acids that will eat through it.

    You need a stainless flexible flue and a stainless rigid section (I think .5 meter but check with the flue manufacturer) directly above the stove.
