Hi everyone! I'm so thankful I found this site. I grew up with a free-standing cast iron wood stove and absolutely loved it! It was the best during those freezing winter nights.
A co-worker offered to sell me his Alladin/Quadra free standing wood stove for $50 so I jumped on it!
However, with all of the reading I've been doing I am not sure if its even possible to do - we have a two story home without a chimney...According to one website the stovepipe cannot be longer than 8-10 feet which would be impossible since we need to have the stove on the first floor in our living room. All the others talk about connecting it to a chimney, which we don't have...So not sure where to go from here other than see if anyone knows how we can accomplish this. I'm there has to be a way somehow. Also, I'm trying to avoid having the pipe run straight up through since it will intersect my sons room and I am worried the pipe will get to hot and he burn himself on it.
Any advice would be very much appreciated!
