I assume you mean a woodburning stove. �Don't do anything until you

won't even allow woodburning stoves. �If that's OK, then you must by a
UL listed stove and install it according to their directions. �The
trouble is usually the chimney. �Assuming you don't have an existing
chimney (in good condition) to use, you will be looking at running a
metalbestos chimney up through your living spaces out the roof. �So as
to how hard of an install, it could range from not too bad to a living
hell.


a gas direct vent stove might be easier and more practical
