Can i fit a wood burning stove in my fireplace.
If you had an open solid fuel fire previously this should be the case anyway.
You can only fit a wood burner in your fireplace if it has a class 1 chimney.
The short answer is yes you can indeed put a wood burning stove into a fireplace.
A wood burning stove can be installed in an existing fireplace subject to there being a sufficient amount of space available in the fireplace to hold a stove and there being a proper chimney.
If you are replacing a gas fire check to make sure it isn t a class 2 or pre cast flue as these won t be suitable for a stove.
There are also other considerations that need to taken into account when looking to have a wood stove installed in a fireplace.
It should be made of a non flammable material and it fits round the wood burner flue pipe while also blocking off the opening to the stack completely.
