Hello,
Try to picture this - I have an old SS oil boiler flue (5") going up the centre of my house from the basement, running up behind finished walls, and behind closets, etc... My question is - would I some how be able to use that flue for a pellet stove I would like to install? The old oil flue runs right behind where the pellet stove would sit. Can you put a "tee" in the flue and sort of tap into it half way up, or something similar? Is this more hassle than it's worth? The reason I ask is that otherwise, the pellet stove flue would have to go straight up through the roof for about 20 - 25' (cathedral ceiling), and be quite a bit of a costly venture. Direct venting is not an option. Thanks.
