split flue help!

[neal]

Hey guys

Ive never been here before, but I just bought a Jotul F100 and I need some advice. I want to install it in my existing fireplace and chimney. This is all wood buring stuff of course.

My chimney is unique though, it actually has two fireplaces. One upstairs and one down. The bottom fireplace vents around the upper one on each side. Like a "Y".

What do you all think? Should I install the stove pipe in just one of the liners, or split it into two, or what?

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Just run it up one side. No need to split it, just asking for headaches. Not even sure that would pass code. Is there enough room to run up one side?

Yep. One side. Dual pipes are only cool on a car.

You might want to seal off the top of the unused flue to prevent any flue gas from backfeeding down it.
