If you are hoping to keep the budget for your wood burning stove to a minimum, you may be asking yourself: does a wood burner need a flue liner? You might be surprised to learn that getting a flue liner for your stove is actually one of the most important things you can do to keep your stove in top working condition.
A flue liner is a flexible stainless steel tube that runs up the inside of your chimney, carrying the fumes up inside it instead of straight into your chimney.
It is usually recommended you line your chimney to keep it working as safely and efficiently as possible. Flue liners are needed for a number of reasons:
Although it is not necessarily a legal requirement to fit a flue liner for a woodburning stove, most stove installers would recommend you install one as in most cases it can be hard to determine the quality and potential performance of the chimney just by looking at it. Certain tests can be done but most installers would not sign off a job unless a liner was installed as they are liable. If you are self-installing and are choosing not to line the chimney you would have to convince the building control signing the job off that the chimney is suitable and up to standard.
Fitting a flue liner for your stove is easy to do with common household tools, and will save you from having to make costly repairs that might come from not using one in the long run.
As long as your flue liner has been installed correctly and maintained it should last the entire lifetime of your stove.
