Can I vent a pellet stove into a pre-fab fireplace chimney ?
Yeah I know pellet stoves are just space heaters but I have no other options. My girlfriend lives in a townhouse (middle of block) and has a crappy heat pump. House is always cold and electric bill is through the roof. She has a pre-fab fireplace in the finished basement, I was thinking of putting in a pellet stove and venting it into the pre-fab chimney. Will it work ??? My first choice would be a wood stove but nowhere to store wood and too much work keeping it fed.
