Hey guys,
New to the site. Just picked up a Fisher free standing stove about 18 wide and 36 inches deep 31 inches tall. I have a question, right now the stove is set up with a 6 inches exhaut collar on the back of the stove. could I close up that hole and exhaust out of the top rear of the unit with the same size hole. I would do this because the unit being 36 inches deep with a rear flue elbow the unit is pushed off the rear masonary fireplace wall and additional 10-12 inches so the front legs sticks out 46+- inches and the hearth isn't deep enough to support the front legs. If I cut a hole in the top I can recess the stove so that the front legs will land on the hearth. Is it plausible?? will the smoke/burn pattern be affected?
Will my house fill up with smoke? I will add 6 inch black pipe to the new hole up the chimmney about 4 feet. The chimmney and fireplace is in good condition and is presently used weekly.
Thanks.
