HI,

My Brother just bought a wood stove, to replace a very old stove that was in the house when he bought it. When we removed the stove pipe, I found that the oil boiler is on the same flue(the chimney is in the center of the house) my question is, would it be alright if we ran a seperate liner through the existing chimney and used the remaining chimney space to vent the fireplace or vice versa. Please let me know. Thanks.

Tom
