Default Down, Dirty and Cheap Chimney

Hi all

With the ridiculous situation gas/electric costs, how much would it cost
to construct a chimney/flue for a wood burning stove?
Presumably the cheapest option is just a flue clipped to the wall and out
through the roof?
Also, what height does this flue have to reach relative to roof/eaves
level? I have a single storey kitchen extension - would the flue outlet
have to be above the apex or eaves of the rest of the (2 storey) house?
Finally, any websites on doing this and incorporating a heat exchanger to
use the flue heat for whole house or hot water heating?
I am not seriously considering this, just curious at the moment. If I had a
free source of logs, then it might move up the priority list.

Phil
