The guy who told you it is inoperable is looking for the work in fixing it.

Having burned wood in a stove up until 3 years ago, I never had an insulated liner. It probably helps the stove be more efficient by keeping the draft consistent but know what heats the liner up quick, a fire.

Anyway, I can’t find Vermont specific code quick but admittlly didn’t want to read that much this early. I am sure the answer is in here.

*one thing to keep in mind is that if your home was built pre 2105, you are probably grandfathered in. Although I shouldn’t use grandfathered because it has historic racial overtones (no shit) but I don’t know a better way to say it, maybe historic exemption? Anyway , new code won’t apply unless you make changes to the system.
