I just recently bought a house in MA. The previouse owner knocked out
the chimney,for what ever reason. The house has a relatively new gas
steam boiler, which is currently being vented right out the basement
window. And no it is not a direct vent boiler. Is there another way to
vent it w/o going through the expense of putting up a new chimney? I
can remember seeing a conventional furnace that was vented through the
wall, using double lined flue pipe and a fan that would turn on just
before the furnace would start up. Any ideas? Thanks

Sounds like you'll need yet another new boiler,
one designed for direct vent.

Anything you 'jury rig" is going to be suspect.
