    If it's large enough ie 8 inches yes. If it's too small then it might not draw properly resulting in smoke spilling into the room.

    At the min smoke is filling into the room upstairs. Its more than 100 years old with a 5 foot high fire place in the kitchen and the open fire is back to back with the kitchen. The sitting room fireplace is very shallow. I want to fit a stove in the kitchen and I am wondering can I get away with two flexi flues as the two chimneys become one at 1st floor level and there isn't room for two solid flues. I've rang two chimney experts both promised to come in the next week but both have let me down. Does anybody know anyone in the cavan south leitrim area ??
