    I currently have an open fire in the sitting room and directly behind this i plan to put in a stove in the kitchen, can i break into the flue that is currently there or would i need to put another in alongside it thus having to clear out the existing chimney of all the fill etc ?
    Any help suggestions gratefully recieved !!!

    what do you mean by this?
    thus having to clear out the existing chimney of all the fill etc

    what kind of stove/fuel type?
    Is the ventilation natural or mechanically assisted?

    Its solid fuel burning, air draft,
    If it turns out i have to put another flue alongside the existing one (from the sitting room open fire) naturally il have to take the chimney packing/filing out !

    more trouble than its worth ,block up the open fire and use its flue for the stove , open fires are a waste of heat
