Question
I AM THE PROUD OWNER OF A SCHRADER 2 DOOR FIREPLACE.  THE SMOKE COMES OUT THE BACK FROM A SQUARE HOLE APPROXIMATLY 4 IN. BY 12 IN.  THE QUESTION... WILL A 6 IN. FLUE WORK OR DO I NEED AN 8 IN.  IS THERE A PLACE THAT WILL SELL AN ADAPTOR TO GO FROM SQUARE TO ROUND???

Answer
Hello Fred, you should try to find the owners manual that will tell you every thing you need to know. also check with your local building department about the installation.
a quick check of that measurement shows it needs an 8" but 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 with a liner and installation and getting that square to round piece you need.
Hope this helps
James
