I recently was given an old rusty 1979 Fisher Goldilocks, but after days of rehab it almost looks brand new, but now have questions about setup.
I plan on using it to take the chill off in a house that heats with fuel oil and at one time had a wood stove in the dining room. There is access to the brick chimney, that appears to have a liner (clay), in the dining room where there is a round tin covering up a hole that is just under 6" in diameter to the chimney.
I planned on using double wall stove pipe, but with 6" clearance how to I get it to the hole in the chimney? Could I use two 45deg elbows? I read on another post about having to much draft because of two big of chimney and once I tap into chimney it is much bigger then 6". Is this a huge problem?
The Goldilocks was made to take in outside air, but I was just going to lift it up an 1" or so instead of cutting my dining room floor (at least for now). I did get the air intake on the front of the stove working smoothly and was wondering if I should still put a damper in the stovepipe and if so how high above to stove should the damper go?
Holy smokes! Can anyone say thank goodness for free advice.
