Have you or anyone had the ‘pour in place’ or ‘cast in place’ done to your chimney interior, where a tube is inflated in the diameter (6”) you want, then a wet refractory material is poured or pumped into the chimney? After it hardens the tube is deflated and removed. This is more expensive than stainless steel which requires yearly inspections to maintain the forever warranty.

I got a quote for Superflu system for my fireplace chimney back when I bought this place 31 years ago. They were the only ones doing the balloon and pour-in-place refractory liners then. Quote was $1400.00, which back then was a lot just to use the fireplace.
I haven't heard of anyone getting a poured liner, but lots going with stainless liners, so I'm guessing the poured liners are still too expensive for most.

The straight 8” SS liner is 32’ from the basement level Tee. The 1914 house chimney is constructed of bricks with no liner. In the attic a previous contractor went to concrete squares and then at the roof level above the flashing, constructed a wood/plywood frame and attached glue on fake fieldstone rock. I paid for a 10’ insulation jacket to be at the top. (I would send pictures but can’t figure out how to. The word Paste doesn’t appear.)

My dad did when half our chimney got blown 50 yards across the back yard from a direct lightning strike. They rebricked the chimney. Stuck one 2’ long piece of 8x8 terracotta at the top and put an inflatable 7” tube down the chimney. They were in and out in 2 days. Slick as whale $h!t. The result was a seamless insulated flue that had fantastic draft.WIburnerPaul wrote: ↑Mon.

My chimney is brick mostly but was changed to concrete squares in the attic, to the roof level. There are no clay tiles.

I had read it earlier that you had a masonry chimney, and a separate stainless steel chimney. I see now you said SS liner, so what are you burning now in the liner?WIburnerPaul wrote: ↑Mon.
