Hi all,
I am looking for advice, my wife and i just moved to a new "fixer upper" and although at first we were going to not have a wood fire in this place, one cool ish day made us miss our old fire. i have attached some photos which i hope show what i am dealing with/trying to explain.
there was a big old wood burning stove there which i took out as the back where the vent/flue goes is all rotted. ( 1st 2 photos ).
the outside brick chimney appears to have a rotten collapsing liner, which maybe insulated ( photos 3 and 4 ) as there is a wooden hatch to gain access to it. we wish to install a fairly small free standing wood burning stove, so my question is what sort of flue/chimney pipe i should be looking at.
any guidance would be appreciated, and i apologize in advance for what maybe stupid questions.
thank you.
