I did the same on one of mine recently. Boarded the sides/back and just had a vent made up for the top. Made sure to get the chimney swept out first as well! :)

What would be a good alternative for priming the walls? I've ordered some Weber P360 from a company via eBay but they appear to be quite useless. Could I use a PVA/water mix as an alternative?

Cheers again, when the plumber installed the pipe he did protect it in sleaving of some kind so hoping that should be fine. I'll make a note to check there's enough clearance for the pipe to expand though!
