    Maybe mike holton can help you with your overhead clearances question I do believe he is associated with Englander.

    Well went for the liner install today... didnt quite work out. I ran the liner down and had my wife let me know when it was at the stove. She just isnt strong enough to bend the pipe the tiny little bit it needs to as I pull up on it from the roof. So has to wait to get finished till I get some other help tomorrow.

    We had the same exact problem :headbang:

    Ended up scooting the insert back to meet the liner, we were beat and waited just long enough into fall that we needed the heat that very evening. The insert is still there today, a few inches inside where the faceplate should go. :picard: Atleast it is there if we need it.....

    Oh, that is frustrating. Do you have room to push the stove back a little?

    Cannot say for sure whether it was wood burner or pellet burner, I read a member here has a quick-disconnect so he can scoot his stove out and clean it, wonder if there are any adapters like that for your situation?

    I had the same issue. If I had not had my pantys in such a wad to see the durn thing blowin smoke, I would have just ordered a SS 15* elbow made for just such a problem. What I did do was to slide a small automotive style hydraulic jack under the center of the stove with a piece of 3/4" plywood in between, unbolted the legs, carefully lowered it down and then pulled it out a bit too.
    This allowed a better angle and more leverage on the liner (mine was pre-insulated so it was a bit stiffer than a normal liner) and then once attached I slowly slide the stove back in and up at the same time. Since this put a bit of pressure on the liner in the area of the old fireplace damper, and I didn't want to tear things up, I slide some sheet metal (actually, some pieces cut out of old duct work) over the sharpish front and rear edge of the damper so the liner would have something smooth to slide over. I t worked out well. The tight clearances of the whole setup did make for a lil fun fabricating/fitting/installing the block off plate then too...:picard:

    I had to modify my blower to get the stove far enough into the opening to connect the flue.

    Yeah $62 bucks for an elbow seems a bit steep. Trying to figure a way out so I dont have to spend that and wait for it to get here.

    Hmm, that does seem steep, I don't remember now the price of the ones I looked up when I did mine a couple years ago. Maybe that was another part of the reason I didn't want to use an elbow if I didn't have to.
    Just recently, I have found a little amish metal shop nearby that has SS stove pipe and fittings for about a 1/3 of what everybody else gets for the same stuff. I think maybe they make it on site...if they had a phone I'd give ya a number

    You might be able to jack the front of the stove up, high enough to get the angle to attach the adapter and let the stove bend the liner as you let it back down. Can't tell the thickness of your adapter, but doing it this way could also mess up the adapter if it's not real thick.
