Woodburners
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
No, not another method to power the car.
Pick brains time.
I'm thinking of getting a wood burner for the house. The idea is to put it in the sitting room, where we currently have a gas fire.
One of the things mentioned before fitting is getting the chiney flue lined. The house was late 60's. Would the chimney have been lined already to take the gas fire?
Anybody with knowledge on this sort of thing?
Cheers

You have a PM!
You can't use gas liner IIRC. It is not suitable for the heat generated. If the chimney passes a smoke test, you may be able to just use a short length of flue through a plate.

Got one for sale, if you're interested send a pm. It's stratford sm 50, iirc.
waveydavey:
Basically you need a class 1 flue; essentially Brick or clay.
If you look up the chimney and you can see a metal liner then you will need to do something.
V8MoneyPit:
There are flexible metal liners that are rated for cast iron stoves, but the first part has to be vitrious enamel flue.
