Hi all,

just a general question - what are the issues around converting a wood burning stove that was installed in a fireplace + chimney back to the original set-up? I am moving into a house with this arrangement in a sitting room. I can't abide stoves, mush prefer the old-fashioned original look and feel of an open fire. So, can I convert back to the original???

thank you
M

However before going down that road see if you can find out was there any problems with the Chimney especially if the Chimney is lined.
As any repair could be expensive.
