What is the purpose of a flue liner?

There are many purposes of installing a flue liner for your wood burning stove, some of them include the following:

Flue liners increases efficiency

Generally, unlined chimney are cold due to the lack of insulation thus making it difficult for hot smoke to rise up. The build up of hot smoke will cause condensation which, can lead to water vapour which, will ultimately lead to damp. The damp will also cause heavier smoke.

Flue liners help keeps your chimney cleaner

If you do not have a chimney liner the excess smoke will leave dirt, dust and other debris to built up on the walls thus leaving it dirty. The dirty walls will eventually create what is called creosote which is difficult to remove and can create blockages.

Flue liners are a safety measure / precaution
