Hey guys,
I have a question. Is it possible to install a wood stove in a basement sharing a flue with a fireplace on the first floor? I have a two flue chimney with an oil burner on the second flue. Does the fireplace flue go all the way to the basement? There is a cleanout obviously downstairs for the fireplace. I would much rather install a wood burning fireplace instead of creating another zone for my furnace.
I don't really want to close off the fireplace on the first floor if possible. I am new to this and I will obviously consult with a professional but I don't feel like wasting my time if this isn't even an option.
Thanks!
