I want to buy an Englander 17-VL and install it on the main floor in the center of our Cape Cod. Went up into the attic. The unused flue, which was installed when the house was built 30 yrs ago, is a Metalbestos SS Class A. Seems well secured. I can see down into the rising part. The sticker says 2” minimum to combustibles. The only place it doesn’t comply is where it goes thru the roof decking, which it touches on two sides. Not sure who’s fault that is. We recently had new shingles put on and a fancy steel chimney. I guess I’d have to take a jigsaw and widen the square opening or make it round on those two sides. I think I’ll call the roofing guy since he should have fixed that or at least centered it. Hole may be too small even if centered tho. There’s also a plate screwed to the side of the pipe with a couple of small bolts sticking out. No idea what that is.
It goes 9’ up, 3.5’ at a 45 degree angle, then up 2’ to the roof deck. Pipe diameter is 8” inside, 10” outside. Chimney is 3 or 4 feet high, near the ridge. Seems to be a proper box in the ceiling.
Total wood-stove noob here, just fishing for advice.
