Me again
I'm ready to be shot down for this lol but here goes:
The fire in our living room has been taken out. Hard to explain so Ill post a picture, but a raised marble hearth has been installed, and the opening is still there in the chimney breast. The chimney has just been blocked up with wood but the opening is still there.
What I want to do is install a wood burning stove.
I plan to set it on the hearth, and run the flue into the chimney. Obviously I will install a register plate to seal off the throat of the chimney, with a hole for the flue.
I think the chimney is lined, if so how far into the chimney does the flue have to go? will it need to go the whole way up the chimney, or can I just install enough flue to go from the stove up through the register plate?
Forgive me for my lack of knowledge, but thats where you lot come in!
