Hi,
I recently purchased a used woodstove for my basement family room. I am wondering do I need to use some type of thimble or can I just run the approrpiate lentgh of stovepipe through the 7" diameter hole already present in my brick chimney to access the flue? I ask becuase I am having difficulty finding a 7" diameter thimble, they all seem to be 6" or 8" diameter.
I am anxious to finish the installation, but of course want to be safe. Please lend any helpful advice.
Happy New Year!
