| We just relined our chimney with a 6" stainless steel flue liner. We would like to use the fireplace as a wood burning fireplace (not stove) instead of gas. Is 6" big enough for us to burn wood?
Thanks! |

| Nope. Don't think so. You're choking the fireplace. Unless you have a 4 x 4 fireplace opening. I got a wood stove and will never use my fireplace again! Pointless. |

| nope. why would you reline an open fireplace chimney?? chimney fires are basically nonexistant in open fireplaces; they don't produce the tarry creosote deposits that woodstoves are known for. Relining an open fireplace chimney is usually unecessary regardless of what your local "liner salesman" aka "chimney professional" told you. |
