Hello everyone... I am looking at a new home and I have some questions about changing the current setup from a free-standing gas stove to a free standing wood stove.
What's currently in place:
*Looks like an 8" pipe going straight up to the top of the existing brick chimney/fireplace. There is a flexible metal inner pipe running up through said 8" pipe.
*Gas line stubb coming up through the floor
What I think needs to happen:
*Remove or disable gas flow to existing stub
*Replace current pipe with one made for a wood stove
-That could mean running the pipe straight up and out the chimney as it is today or having a hole cut and run out the rear of the chimney/fireplace
Can anyone tell me if this is at all feasible or am I looking at a huge, costly project (more than $5k just to setup)? I'm including two pictures of the current setup.
Thanks in advance for any input/suggestions,
Travis
*BTW - I looked for similar posts, just didn't find exactly what I was looking for. If you have a link to an appropriate post, just lemme know.
