Indoor masonry chimney servicing a small wood stove. (center of great rm)
The thimble will be about 3'-4' up from the floor. I was always told no more than about 12" of "dead" flue below the thimble.
would 4'-5' of "dead" flue be to much below the thimble ? (this would allow me to put the cleanout in the basement)
If I have to put the cleanout ~1' below the thimble, it would be in the great room, right in the stone face of the chimney,
This would leave ugly stains after the 1st season of burning/rain.
Thanks,
Nick
