My neighbour is putting a squirrel stove in. The plan is to brick up
the opening with a four inch pipe straight from the back of the stove
through the bricks. Behind the bricks the level of the hearth will be
built up to the level of the pipe, with a u shape, so any gunk can be
reached through the stove. Other than not being unable to push a brush
up the way are there any drawbacks to the plan?
The chimney is good.

I can never get them to stay lit.
