New to the board but knew i could get plenty of feedback on this.
I do not have an existing chimney and and plan on placing my new Voegelzang wood burner in front of a window and was hoping to, instead of cutting through a combustible wall and usuing a thimble and double or triple wal pipr to actually create a replacement for the windowsashes in the window.
In other words, build an insert out of metal framing and Durock cement board (same materials as suggested for a heat barrier wall) to place in the window opening. Here's a drawing of my idea. See any flaws, suggestions, hazards etc? Let'em fly, I appreciate the feedback.
