Question
Hi, my husband and I are thinking about installing a malm freestanding woodburning stove.  We are putting it in a room with cement floors which will be nice but we do not have an existing chimney system.  How do we get this to work? I know there is a way to install a non-masonry chimney system but I just don't know how.  Any advice would be so great!

Answer
Hello Kelli, what you are asking about is called a Class "A" chimney, it is a double wall insulated chimney.
I would have a local Certified Chimney Sweep (www.csia.org, there you can look up by zip code to find one near you) take a first hand look at what you have they should be able to help.
Hope this helps
