Hi
We're in the process of preparing our chimney to install a wood burning stove.
We've chipped the plaster back to try and find the lintel. We've discover a very thin metal bar on the opening and a brick arch around 4 1/2 ft up.
Do we need to remove the metal bar and do we need to instal a lintel if we already have a brick arch?
We would like the opening to be 4ft x 4ft.
Thanks
Jen
