My wife and I are currently building a house. The original plan was to put in a pellet insert, but now we are thinking that we may not put in a masonry chimney. To save money, we are looking at putting a wooden chase up to house prefab an vent pipe. Can we still use an insert? Can we have a mason build a brick alcove to place an insert in? What our options? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
