I have a chimney on external wall of my lounge. The chimney sits external to the house so there is no breast in the room.
It had a gas fire in previously and has an 8" clay/ceramic liner in the chimney going straight up.
I'm building a fake chimney breast out of block in the lounge to house a multi fuel 8kw Stovax stove.
Due to measurements and restrictions its going to be tricky to put a flue liner down and have soot access.
I was going to put a 904/316 flue liner down and then a T piece with cap on the bottom going to the stove rear flue exit. Problem is the stove sits further than 6" away from the T horizontally.
Options are:
45 out of stove rear flue, stove pipe to 45 T piece with cap onto 6" flue liner inside the ceramic liner. Soot door on the rear of chimney giving access to T piece Cap for soot collection.
Or
45 out of stove rear flue, stove pipe and break into the existing flue ceramic flue. Then fill the void below leaving a drop gap in the chimney for soot collection and have a soot door at the rear of the chimney outside.
Its easier/cheaper to go with the latter, but does anyone see any issues?
