Chimney clean out door

[sprawlnstall]

Any options or suggestions for a clean out door? The opening is 7 inches x 4 inches. Most clean out doors are bigger? Any risk of not having a clean out door?

Cut the hole bigger. And yes you need a cleanout door or you will have very limited draft.

Or seal it up (draft) and vacuum out the debris after sweeping from the thimble? (Put a "floor" in a few inches below the thimble)?

Thanks for the response as a temporary fix I fastened a piece of fire board to the clean out. Before I’m up and running I have another issue to address. The clearance from the single wall stove pipe to ceiling was 6 inches. Even with double wall stove pipe I wouldn’t make the correct clearance? I cut out a piece of drywall to see what my options are. Could I frame in the ceiling?

Your pipe is also way to close to the ceiling

I addressed the pipe issue in my previous post? What options are available? Frame in the ceiling? Triple insulated pipe?
