[DIY] File - Group Reminder

This is a monthly reminder of the rules and charter under which this group
operates and its members participate.

1. Commentaries on Religion, Politics, Race, Gender or Sexual
preferences and the use of Profanity have no place on this list and
can and will almost certainly result in the offenders banishment.

2. Otherwise you are pretty much free to say what you think, but please
"Think before you Speak" and we must refrain from inflammatory comments
no matter how tempted we might be. If you must respond in some
otherwise inappropriate manner, we have no control over what goes on
off-line.

3. CIVIL disagreement however is allowed and even encouraged in cases
where the advice given or the expressed intended actions of a member
may result in extensive damage to personnel or property.
But Please keep it CIVIL.

[DIY] Re: Fireplace insert

If you are planning on removing the insert later you need to pay particular attention to how they plan on installing the insert. For some that also vent in the combustion air the flue damper is removed making the fireplace unusable if the insert is removed. I agree the chimney needs to be inspected and perhaps cleaned first. Then keep asking until they give you an answer that you understand and makes sense. If you are using gas and planing on venting up the chimney and using room air for combustion it is pretty straight forward and in general should be reversible.

The question is: I've made calls to a company that inspects cleans and supplies stoves n inserts but Im not getting a straight answer on what I need to do. Do I need to get the chimney inspected first and energy efficient ready? Or will that actually be resolved with the purchase of the insert and their sealing of the area. To me, the insert is temporary so the next owner can use wood if they want so it seems I need to check out the usability of the chimney first? Also, in what case would one buy an insert from a big box store? Of course safety is a concern.
