Hi All

I am looking at installing a Jotul F100 eco Long Leg and have an issue with the existing masonry chimney.

The internal dimensions of the chimney are 125mm x 245mm and approx 4m high.

The advice I have been given is that I shouldnt use the chimney and just run a 150mm pipe out the top and through the ceiling

I would prefer to use the chimney if possible because the room is quite small. Is it possible to run 2 x120mm diameter flues next to each other up the chimney?

Any other ideas?

I appreciate the advice

Cheers
Matt

Look into oval stainless flexible chimney liners. Consider adding insulation.
 
How would you connect two flues to one stove? Such parts won't be for sale...
