I currently have a Fire Boss wood stove. It does the job. But upon doing some research on this forum. I think it's best to get a smaller, newer more efficient wood stove for the main living area. Now I don't want to necessarily get rid of this one. I'd like to put it in the basement. But the problem is the flue hole that was used for boiler is on the other side of the wall. Basement is kind of cut in 2. With a big opening to walk through. Question is, how hard and could I even put another hole on the other side of the wall. And connect with the current flue?

Yep, all of the stove manuals I've seen say something like "must not share the flue with another appliance."
He said it was used for the boiler so I am assuming it isnt anymore. Cutting the hole is not that hard doing it without destroying the clay liner is hard.
The flue needs redone anyway so that''s not the issue. Just didn't know if I could structurally do it
I have 3 flues. upstairs wood stove, fire place and basement furnace. We don't use the furnace since I had a chimney fire. We would reline the basement flue and use that for the old woodstove
What would be the horizontal distance from the stove location past the wall to the old boiler flue hole?
Not sure I understand the question. Are you asking how thick the chimney is. And how far from new hole to old boiler hole?
