Puttin' in a woodstove and am unsure about the chimney. Im having the chimney man over to inspect it, but I suspect he'll say it needs a liner.

Thing is I've heard that can cost a thousand bucks. I just cant see that, when its nothing but a 20 foot length of stainless stovepipe, a vented hood and some hardware.

I dont know why I can't do it myself and save big $. Would you do it yourself (considering the obvious safety issues) ?

Any advice is appreciated

Red, This is one of those things you don't want to learn as you go on! My Dad is still a licensed masonry contractor, and after 50 years in the businees, he still throws up the red flags over chimney repairs. A mortar "liner" WILL NOT WORK good enough to justify the FALSE sense of security. I've worked in sheet metal for almost 20 years and I'd line with welded steel. Doesn't necessarily NEED to be stainless tho. That need would depend on how well you can keep moisture from working on it. You get what you pay for. Call a GOOD pro. Don't take a chance on old mortar joints. Especially the old cementless, lime mix of yesteryears.

I certainly hope you can get some advise because I have been thinking about this for about the last 10 years.
I had a chance to buy the flexible stainless steel liner at a garage sale for 1/5 the selling price and was very stupid for not getting it.
I imagine it will cost about $500 just to purchase enough to line my chimney and then must do the work.
Please let us know what the result is as I must line my chimney as the acids from burning wood is starting to ruin my chimney.

Red,

It depends. How old is the chimney? How dirty do you want to get? You can line the old chimney yourself. One of the old Mother Earth News articles told how. It involves a sack ('traveller'), high-temp mortar (to line the chimney) and a lot of work. The sack starts at the bottom of the chimney on a rope. You pour the mortar down from the top while you pull the sack up, which smears the mortar on the chimney walls. How well it works is not known to me, since I've never done it.

Good luck!

Ron

Red, The sack liner works this way. A balloon type hose is lowered into your chimney and then it is capped off and air is used to fill it so you get a 8 to 12 inch diameter flue space inside the chimney. then a slurrey of high temp cement is pumped into the surrounding space between the balloon and the chimney. After the cement hardens the air is removed from the balloon and then it colapses and is peeled out from the inside and removed. Ater the cement hardens you have a new lined chimney.
