I have an old chimney that I want to take down and replace with a new masonary chimney.
I have a gas furnace hooked to the existing one, but need a second flue for a wood stove.
I am interested in taking down the old chimney and replacing it with a new chimney that has two separate flues - one for wood and the other for gas.
I might want to tackle this project myself - but I don't see a lot of "how to" info/links for this kind of work. I see all kinds of stuff for lining an exting chimney, but not for building a new one.
I am kind of set on a masonry chimney, but have another question. If you can re-line an old chimney with a stainless steel liner and you can construct a chimney with double wall (and I have seen triple wall) stainless steel pipe, can you build an interior chimney with double/triple wall pipe and wood frame it in? My chimney would be an interior one vs exterior on the side of the house. For some reason, I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling about a liner inside a wood framed chimney - but it could be I am too old schooled in my opinions.
Any tips, info or links would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
Bill
