Abstract: There is disclosed an installation with a refractorily lined metallurgical vessel. The vessel, on its upper end, is provided with a mouth that is connectable to a chimney arranged at a distance above the mouth, by a hood insertable between the mouth and the chimney. In order to provide an installation with which the lining team is not jeopardized and by which it is possible to introduce the lining material into the metallurgical vessel in a simple and time-saving manner, a container is introduceable into the space present between the mouth and the chimney after the removal of the hood. The container covers the chimney downwardly and includes at least one closeable bottom opening. The carrying means for introducing the container is equipped with at least one hoist displaceable from laterally beside the mouth of the vessel to above the mouth of the vessel.
