    Hi,

    I'm planning on installing a Morso Squirrell multi fuel stove. (5kw)

    I cant vent from the top straight up so I will either need to use 2 45 degree bends to connect to the flexi liner above or a t section if I rear vent it.

    I have read that rear venting should be a last resort. Considering that the draw on my open fire wasn't that great I want to ensure best draw I can. Would 2 45 bends be preferable do you think?

    Also if i have a soot door in one of the pieces will it be easy enough to sweep?

    On another note do you loose much heat if a stove is recessed into the gap where the old fireplace was?

    Also,
    If rear venting do I need to maintain a distance of 10-15 cm between back of flue pipe and back wall?

    What is the best way to surface the back wall (currently just soncrete bricks) ? Can I just plaster it? Is there a special king of plaster slab I could use to keep the heat in the room a bit more?

    Thanks in advance
