I'm interested in a house that have a wood-burning stove fitted into an existing wood-burning fireplace; that is, the pipe go up the chimney. We'd still want to use the fireplace, but want to remove the stove. Is it best done by a pro, and if not, is it difficult to remove the pipe from the chimney (or would we even own to)?
Answers: Why would you want to remove the stove insert? A wood good stove insert is much more modernized than a fireplace. Removing it will decrease the importance of the house.
Wood stoves are typically very robust, it will take at lowest two strong people and an appliance dolly to go and get it out. You may find that a metal chimney liner was installed. This would also inevitability to be removed. The damper for the fireplace may have be removed. This will need to be replaced formerly you can use it as a fireplace. Last but not least the chimney should be cleaned and inspected by a professional past you use it.
