Hi,
I'm thinking about buying a used, Vermont Castings wood stove known as the Resolute. It is from 1979, so its one of the original versions (of which I understand there have been several). Is it possible to use this stove with an 'open door' and spark screen, as one appears to be able to use the newer versions? Also, the stove would be placed where there currently is very, very old gas stove (of the kind used to heat houses in the early 1900s). I plan to remove the gas stove and connect the wood stove with a pipe that would extend horizontally from the back flange to vertical pipe that would go up one of my chimney flues, which I still need to have lined. This would create an 'L' or elbow effect. Is this a viable way to connect the stove? I am going to have this done professionally, but I want to know what is possible before I hire a contractor.
Many thanks.
