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?

The question is: Do you want a stove[B] or a fireplace? If it’s a stove: Have the flue gas connection (with a fitting) installed at about 1.80 m (5 feet 11 inches) above the finished floor level. You can always route the stovepipe from any stove "somewhere further up." Most stoves have a similar height for their flue outlet anyway. However, if you want a proper fireplace, I would strongly recommend consulting with the fireplace builder as soon as possible, deciding on the model, and having the flue gas connection installed at the same time. Making changes afterward is usually more difficult and also more expensive. There are no real “bargains” when it comes to fireplaces: if you want one, you pay for it. With stoves, of course, you are more flexible...

So the height has to be very precise, and drilling beforehand is not recommended.
