I am about to install a large woodburning stove (equinox) into an existing interior fireplace where we prevously had a smaller avalon stove. I wanted to have an OAK intalled and the only way to do that is to install it up the masonry chimney and out the top. I suggested this method to the installer and he says that he can do it. In reading about OAK installation i have never heard of this method and have also read that the air intake should be below the grade of the stove intake. Any thoughts on this method of OAK intallation. We have a long house with a central great room where the stove is. The rooms farthest from the stove don't get much heat, hopefully the larger stove with an OAK will help that
Thanks for your input
