My back porch where I want to put the stove is going to have concrete floor laid over river rock that is there now and I wonder if I could put a brick type of chimney from the floor through the roof that would go the required height for a Morso 1410 (squirrel) wood stove and I would like it to be against the house wall facing the back porch door.going up the required height for this stove...Now this is where it gets complicated--"I want to raise the floor house level and place the stove at this level to make it like a room attached to the back of my house that is level with the house so that I can walk out into it without going down steps in this area. Now I figure that I have about five feet until I need to put steps so that a person can go down those steps and have proper head room to get out of the house. Is this possible or would there be too high of a brick chimney extending through the roof to the outside.
The reason that I want this stove pipe to be in brick is that this area of my house (back area) at times gets lots of heavy wind that I feel would blow a 6 inch stove pipe down and I want this brick chimney with the piping inside to protect it from blowing off the roof. I just at this time want to know if this is possible and would it make it more complicated to clean the piping once a year if I should use the fire stove once in awhile and have it there for emergency purposes if it is needed (complete black out). At this time I am trying to design this area.. Just wondering if this is possible to do at this time?
Picture coming of the back porch and I will try to get better pictures later but this is what we have to work with and the porch is 8 foot from house to front of porch and 10 feet going from the shed wall to the side of the house length wise to the driveway. It is about 95 inches high or so against the wall of the house and about 85 or so to the outside front of the porch. The steps that you see in the picture would not be there for that area would be house level extended out about five feet then they would begin with a railing for safety extending all the way to the end of the house next to the drive way..,The lower part I would have plants for decoration...Just wondering if this is possible and be okay with the stove and chimney? Thank you..clancey
