Installing a stove with a flexible liner is better for the stove, as metal conducts heat quicker the stove will start to draw properly. The faster the flue gases the less creosote build-up will be created in the flue. Creosote is made from the build-up of soot, both are flammable and in severe cases can set on fire.
By installing your stove with a flexible lining system, you have the peace of mind that the liner is guaranteed for 10 years, unlike your chimney. Fact; 80% of chimneys would fail a pressure test. When installing a stove into a chimney flue that does not have a lining system, there is no guarantee the chimney will pass its sweeping test each year, resulting in a leaking chimney being created by the recent annual sweeping brushing away the lime mortar in the chimney flue.
Fitting stoves onto flexible liners also means that the stove will not puff smoke into the room when there is gusty weather.
