That was also kind of what I was thinking!! hehe. It would not be as easy to heat the whole house, as the flue for the chimney is in a room under the kitchen where the fireplace used to be, and we'd probably have to put a chimney liner in (metal pipe instead of the plain brick...for those who don't know what a liner is.lol) but it would be worth it!!!

WE got the chimney repaired, ( couple of cracks,) the old tiles removed, and an insulated liner fitted, for $2000.. Basically a new chimney, with a good cap for that price is great. The Hot Spot, in Greenville did it.

We don't now what condition the current chimney is in. Won't take much to find out...just some time. I have no clue when it was last used. Right now, we don't have the funds to re-do the chimney...so, I'll be happy with my ventless gas heaters for the time being. Wood use is for further down the road.

Re: The Mealmaster Coal Cooker


We lived here for six months before we had the funds to do any thing - I wish we could have afforded to do the floors when we moved in - knowing the ceiling heat worked would have been nice too - we had a cold winter. I am so glad we have actually got a wood stove for cooking now - been intending to buy one for a few years, but never had the funds for the work needed in all our other houses over the years - this house had a chimney - none of the others did. Too many people get rid of the chimney nowadays.

When we have the plumbing finished, and the new kitchen finished we will have a home completely different to the one we bought seven months ago. It will be so goooood.
