vista insert chimney height

[rob bennett]

The manual says 15 foot minimum chimney height. This should be measured from the top of the stove correct?
I have 15 feet from the bottom of the fireplace so i think I am going to be too short correct?
Anyone know how strong the draft is on this stove?

Thanks!

Could extend... but it may work just the same... insulated stainless liners really pull...

Could go a few feet higher with the right liner system than the top of the chimney. Problem is the end tends to want to plug with creosote because it's "cold"... maybe have a mason add a few feet to the chimney?

Doesn't sound like you're far off.
