Use the 8" Round to 8" oval. And you are correct on the 322708 adjustable fireplace insert converter for connecting the liner to the stove.

The stove has a 14" x 3.5" opening on top that they made a huge, tall adapter to fit it. My problem is this. My house was built in 1972 and has a masonry chimney on an exterior wall, and the flue damper is a huge "Palmetto" cast iron wedge shaped thing that has an opening that is 27" wide and 6" tall. The rigid pipe will get me to the bottom of my clay flue tiles, but I would like to go the rest of the way to the insert with 5 to 6 feet of 8" flex liner that is partially ovalized so that it will fit through the slot and plug into one of these... http://www.servicesales.com/adjustable-fireplace-insert-converter-p-293.html Can I adapt the flex to go from the rigid pipe to the stove, and will ovalized 8" flex fit through that 6" slot?

]]> Comment on useing old hickory wood burning insert without blower by matt http://www.servicesales.com/blog/?p=592#comment-71 matt Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:08:23 +0000 http://www.servicesales.com/blog/?p=592#comment-71 You always run the risk of damaging the stove if you burn it without a functioning blower. Stoves that were made as inserts are not really designed to operate without a blower. They have no means of shedding heat from the firebox, other than the blower. We can help you locate a blower for your stove. This may require you sending a picture of your old blower assembly so that we can match it up with something. Please call us 800-472-6728 or email pics to matt@servicesales.com and we will help you as much as we can. Thanks for your question.

]]> Comment on using fireplace when fan (blower) doesn’t work ? by matt http://www.servicesales.com/blog/?p=509#comment-70 matt Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:05:22 +0000 http://www.servicesales.com/blog/?p=509#comment-70 I would not recommend using the Buck Stove without a working blower. When your stove gets hot, the blower comes on and cools down the firebox. Consequently, you get warm. Without a functioning blower, the firebox will get too hot and the stove may become damaged, which is not safe. If you need parts for your stove, please visit our Buck Stove parts page here http://www.servicesales.com/buck-stove-parts-older-model-26000-27000-28000-carolina-11-c-22_348.html You can always call us at 800-472-6728 and we will be happy to discuss your concerns.

Otherwise, I would not recommend burning coal in the stove.

The added impedance will reduce the draft and allow particulates to collect in front of the cat. Also, the cast iron construction is very heave and you would need additional support to hold the weight horizontally. I don’t think the retrofit catalyst would work very well on a horizontal vent.
