We have moved into house which has an open fireplace. There is no mantel piece but a square recess in the chimney breast with tiled floor and a flue!
We would like to install a small multi-fuel stove to supplement the central heating, as the house is rented we are looking if it is possible to do a safe and neat install without costing lots!
I have looked up the flue and I can see the end of the chimney liner has been crushed shut just above where the register plate would sit.
Is this able to be salvaged somehow?
Could we install a register plate with a longer spigot inside the chimney to bridge this damaged area?
Also looking for recommendations for small stoves. I read good things about the 'Salamander Hobbit' stove.
