We have an Jotul Oslo F500 that is awaiting installation. The house used to have a prefab zero clearance fireplace that was removed and destroyed two weeks ago. That was a awesome project!
Anyway, my question relates to the chimney set up...
We are planning to top vent the stove using double wall stove pipe up approx 20" before taking a 90 degree bend through the brick wall behind the stove. Behind this brick wall is a chase running up the side of the house. Some wood framing behind the brick will have to be redone to allow the required 6 or 8" clearance around the pipe. The double wall stove pipe will then enter a Class A stainless "T" and up the remaining 18 ft of Class A to the rain-cap.
My question is this: How do I properly seal off around the pipe where it goes through the brick wall. Also the old fireplace opening is going to be right behind the wood stove - what is the proper way to seal this off, but still retain access to the "T" so that my new stovepipe can be cleaned out periodically.
Thanks for the help!
