Installing a pellet stove in an existing chimney is a great way to avoid the hassle of cutting into a wall or through the roof to properly vent the stove.
Pellet stove installation into existing chimney.
Cutting chipping drilling and breaking a hole through old chimney.
I hope this helps.
Hi skipper thank you for your question and welcome to our community.
Yes your pellet stove can be vented through your existing chimney providing your pellet stove is placed in front of your existing fireplace and you have the proper clearance the airspace between the stove the walls and you meet the minimums as defined in the owner s manual.
However don t fall into a false sense of security when using a chimney to vent a pellet stove because a house fire could result from improper installation.
