all houses had brick or stone chimneys
and to have a "Cook Stove" you tied into your
existing chimney
used for the "Hearth"
typically on the opposite side going thru
the wall dividing the Kitchen from the
Living Area ....
unless there was More than One ...
(usually that was a given with crappy insulation)
Our present day Homes are very "draft Free"
so keep in mind you'll need fresh air coming in
somewhere just to breathe in addition
to what amount the fire needs.
It is said that our Homes are Drier in the winter time
than the Sahara Desert so it's a good idea to have
a stainless steel tea kettle on the stove to help
re-humidify your interior wood ESPECIALLY when having
Wood stoves as the ceiling temps run around 90-> 100 degrees.
