Hello,
I spoke with our structural builder today. He asked us to clarify the additional work regarding the chimney. The only thing we need to decide is what kind of flue pipe connection we want (90° or 45°). Honestly, we’re not sure yet because we don’t know which stove we want. I was planning to buy it in spring 2018, after the heating season ends, hoping to find a good deal.
In theory, we could have the stove fitter install the flue pipe connection later, but then they would need to drill. I imagine it might be cheaper to install it now. Or am I mistaken?
Are there any tips or recommendations for current stoves that I should keep in mind?

Knallkörper15 Dec 2016 14:32If you can manage it, I would recommend choosing a fireplace now and having the flue pipe connection installed at the same time.
Unfortunately, we didn’t do this, and now we’re facing problems. With our fireplace (Erlus), hardly anyone is willing to cut the ceramic liner pipe because it is supposed to be very delicate. The fireplace studios would do it, but only if we buy a stove from them.
However, we purchased our stove 500 meters (approximately 310 miles) away.
If you select a stove now, you will also know the required installation area size, the weight, whether you might need to build a protective wall or other adjustments.

Offortris15 Dec 2016 15:01I would rather quickly call your stove builder and ask if he thinks it is necessary.
We no longer have any budget left for a stove.
The structural builder is being quite reserved about it. Yeah, he can install it, but it can also be routed in later. He doesn’t say much more.
Since we don’t have a stove yet, we don’t have a stove installer either. And I doubt that a stove showroom would make any statements without having seen the situation on site.

Hi,
we have a Schiedel chimney, but the same problem occurred there. Drilling into it afterwards is hardly possible or involves a high risk of breaking the entire ceramic liner inside.
We chose one, had it built for that purpose, and will only buy it in the spring.
Best regards,
Andreas

markus270316 Dec 2016 07:38I would only have the hole drilled once you are sure which stove you want. I also don’t fully understand the comments here; we have a ceramic flue liner and had the hole drilled after the stove arrived. It worked perfectly, and if you involve the stove installer or an expert, they should be able to handle that as well.
You should also consider that if the hole is drilled beforehand, it must be properly sealed. Otherwise, you basically have an open window right in the middle of your living room. What will you do if the hole doesn’t fit the stove later on? Who would be responsible then?
