Hello!
I posted here a few days ago asking about lining a brick/mortar chimney with an SS liner for an Englander 30-NCH stove. I decided to go ahead and get the liner installed by a certified chimney/woodstove company. We have two fireplaces next to each other, one of them used to be a gas fireplace with something called "heatelator" in it. The other is just a standard fireplace. The chimney is in the middle of the house, standard terracotta lined chimney.
The stove we have was gifted to us by someone, it is brand new (and took a lot of effort to get inside the house at 400+ pounds!). It turned out that due to clearances and size of the stove, it will protrude too far out and towards the middle of the room, taking up considerable space, no matter which place we want to put it in order to vent it through the "to-be lined" chimney.
Two questions:
1) One of the fireplaces is bigger than the other and can fit the stove. Bad idea?
2) For lack of better option, we can put the stove in a corner and vent it through the wall - any drawbacks to this?
3) Is there anything that can be installed behind the stove (over the "combustibles") that can reduce the required distance from said combustibles?
Thanks!
