I wonder if you wood burning stove experts can suggest a solution to my problem?

I have two fire places downstairs but no chimney stack on the roof - this is because the previous owners extended into the loft and built a dormer extension doing away with the chimney in the process.

How feasible would it be to build a box section in the top floor room/s to contain a flue that exits the roof and extends down into the remaining chimney flue via the first floor and ground floor?

If feasible I could then install a stove into the fire place/s on the ground floor.

Stupidly expensive idea?

I do love a stove!

Thanks

couldn't you have an 'exposed' flue that would act like a giant radiator?

this would work you can get flues that are insulated so it would radiate heat gently or you could just get thin metal tubing thus chucking much more heat into the room, insulated ones to take it through the floor ceiling and uninsulated in the room
