Hi
I have what id call a half chimney breast ie half of its depth has been taken away at some point so it doesnt come out into the lounge so far. Its sealed up.
I want to get a wood-burning stove fitted in the chimney but im not sure if the chimney is deep enough for the flue.
The chimney gap is 11 inches from the inside of the back wall to the inside of the front wall.
Is this enough room? The flue will be 6" going to 8" where it bends to pass thru the external wall as per regs. Its also a half chimney in height as the house was a bungalow and has had the chimney chopped off to put a first floor on hence the flue leaving thru the external wall.
