Hello everyone, I have a blazeking princess ultra on the way with an alcove style opening its going to be installed in. Ceiling of alcove is 9ft high. So the restrictions on the blazeking princess are that the you need 49" of top clearance above the stove. That would put the req. at (35" + 49" = 7ft) high, I have plenty of height clearance. My question is, I would like to leave the chase open all the way up 9ft, but make a front wall come down leaving a clearance of about 5 ft so I can mount a TV above the wood stove. It would be a 2x6 thick wall but the chimney would still go up to 9ft on the inside of the chase. Is this "breaking the rules" or risk? I know lots of hot air would get trapped inside the ceiling of the chase and wont be able to get out as fast as it would without the front wall I would be lowering 4ft.
Thoughts?
