We are looking to put a wood stove in our living room and run a double wall pipe through the existing masonry chimney (which is smack dab in the middle of our Ameican Foursquare house). We don't have 6" of clearance between where the pipe would go in the masonry chimney, and an adjacent combustible wall - more like 4-5". One stove shop threw up their hands at this, but another insists we can use Class A into the room and use an adapter to connect to the stove. Who is right? Are there any downsides or issues to be aware of using this approach?
Other details in case they matter - not set on which stove yet but leaning towards the Lopi Republic 1250; the chimney runs through the second floor and out the top of a full attic above, terminating about 4' above the point of our 8/12 hip roof.
Thank you!
