multi fuel burner, do I need a chimney liner?
We have a very old, timber framed house (tiled roof) and have two
fireplaces.
One has a woodburner which is not much cop (Nestor Martin, looks nice, lots
of flame, sod all heat), this chimney is lined.
The other room has a nice open fireplace with a full functioning chimney
which has not been used since it was last swept last year. A mate has
offered me a multifuel burner for this room.
I was going to make up a plate and instal it this weekend, however a builder
mate seems to think that it must have a liner or it will be a serious fire
risk, I don't see why it will be any more of a risk than the fire that has
been burnt in the fioreplace for the last x 00 years.
Anyone care to comment?
Thanks
David
