Do I Need a Stainless Steel Liner for My Chimney?
You can believe us or go on line and read it for yourself. Those guys lied to you in order to take your money. Suggest you google Ohio Building code chimney or just go directly to Chapter 4101:2-8 Chimneys and vents - Ohio Revised Code
It's some real snoozy reading but you'll find the section 801.18.1 through 801.18.4 to be exactly germane to your application.
I would mark those guys right out of the book.

NO!! Especially burning coal ... no matter what anyone tells you. Trust me on that one!Do I need a stainless steel liner for my chimney?
I would ask them to show the code reference that makes them say a SS liner is needed. I suspect they are using the reference below to justify their belief. I think they need to be educated that a masonry clay liner is compatible with coal.
801.16 Flue lining. Masonry chimneys shall be lined. The lining material shall be compatible with the type of appliance connected, in accordance with the appliance listing and manufacturer's installation instructions. Listed materials used as flue linings shall be installed in accordance with their listings and the manufacturer's installation instructions.

or did I read it wrong?

No, not bad, it seems to wear out sooner then a block chimney. You're fine. I thought I suggested you stop thinking so much!!

It needs cleaned after winter. Ash in the stainless steel chimney during summer can cause corrosion.paulus wrote:I read that correctly? coal burning is bad for a stainless steel chimney? I have nine meters in stainless steel

I had a guy in OH tell me I needed a SS liner as well. On. Top of that you needed "special insurance" since it burns wood and coal, although it also does oil. No one seems to know what this insurance entails, it's my guess he didn't want to do the job, which is fine but he just lost any other work I would be giving him also.
Now my manufacturer does recommend a SS liner more for sizing as they claim is drafts better. However, they also said to try out what I have first and see how it does, if it drafts good then no liner needed.

Old thread, but exactly what I am wanting to do.McGiever wrote: ↑Sun. Feb. 19, 2012 11:16 amIn keeping w/ NOT using a Stainless Steel Liner solution...this video shows a very clever method to end up w/ a clay liner, provided it is large enough to accommodate proper size liner and it is a straight chimney run. This is way more economical than any S.S. liner, easily done by the DIY'er and will last forever.

Old post and here we are 7 years later in 2020 and sweeps are still talking the same old crap. If that’s the case how are county building inspectors in the state of Ohio still allowing new homes built with clay lined chimneys. I see them being built all the time. I still don’t buy that garbage!!lsayre wrote: ↑Sun. Dec. 01, 2013 12:02 pmWhen I was at Lehman's Hardware in Kidron, OH a week or so ago they told me that they are not legally permitted to install any stove (coal or wood) into a tile lined chimney, and they would have to install a stainless steel liner into my chimney if I wanted them to do the install of a cookstove. This has me wondering about liner codes and regulations.
