Enlarge fireplace - right approach?

[pankajsingh]

Hello Gents, I have a similar issue here. Looking to get a multifuel stove installed.
Opened up the chimney but the stove shop advised unless i am able to widen the opening size i cannot install a 7kw stove.
Current size i have is height 80cm, width 65cm, depth 39cm.
@EvilDonut, Did you completely remove the bricks which are in the step form, would things just above it not collapse if removed, please see some pics i have uploaded.
Any suggestions please. Thanks.

OP,
Why not start your own thread - Evil Donut's thread is eight years old.

You have to install your stove to the Manufacturer's Installation Dimensions - maybe your opening will be large enough for whatever you select or you might have to open up the present opening for whatever size stove you want?
A SS flex flue liner will go up your present flue arrangement.
