Not sure where to post this but thought I would start here. We had all but decided we were going to replace our oil heater with a wood stove. Well, we are still exploring possibilities and may look at adding a fireplace insert. The problem is, we have a chimney that runs up through the center of our house. They used to have a wood stove vent up through it but have covered it and now run the vent for the oil stove up the chimney. Don't even get me started on how weird this setup is (this would be the reason we are exploring options).
My question is, can I somehow cut into/reconstruct the chimney to put a fireplace inside of it? I am going to attach picture to show what we have. Not even sure where I would start with who to contact?
Thanks for any helpful ideas.
