Default Wood Stove Venting

NO! Two items on one chimney steals the draft or draw from the other
reducing the ability of either to have the smoke removed. It is against
code. Only a gas water heater is allowed to share a chimney with a gas
furnace.

Baby it's cold
outside!

I have a small, 15,000 btu wood stove. It's in great shape and I would
like to place it in my furnace room of a split-level home. The walls
are all block. Problem: Venting it!

Can I add a "T" or "Y" pipe to my existing oil fired furnace stove
pipe just before it exits into the chimney? This would allow me to
vent the small wood stove up the same chimney flue the furnace and
H2O heater use.

What are your thoughts on this.

We're cold on the lower level

Thanks for your ideas
