I have a 8inch. Square brick chimney. now let see that is 64 sq, inch;s.. the 6inch pipe on oil boiler and wood are 28.27 sq. inch each. So why not run a 6 inch stainless pipe up midle for wood boiler and rest for oil ??? They would not touch and each have enough square inch,s for area to flue, am I missing something??
My wood garsser has its own outside air supply and would be very rare if both ran same time anyways.
 
It would probably work. BUT I WOULD NOT DO IT!
