When I moved into my condo in St, and petersburg, FL there was an old wood stove in the kitchen, then the woodstove sat on a cement pad plus was officially vented through my wood ceiling. There then was a stack added to the roof, and it wasn’t pretty however it was functional, but when you live in FL, heating isn’t a requirement. The home came with a absolutely good heat pump system too. The heat pump controls both heating plus cooling. There was no need for the woodstove. I found out later the previous owner was a history buff plus liked the historic look of it. Well I immediately got to work removing it. I had the cement pad torn up plus removed. I then needed to patch my flooring. I then removed the woodstove plus the piping that vented up in the ceiling. The wood ceiling was patched plus had to match the rest of the wood. I then got roofers to remove the stack, but next was trying to pawn off that wood stove to someone else… Getting a Heating plus Air Conditioning business to take a wood stove is not possible, then all the St. Petersburg Heating plus Air Conditioning dealers told me that the wood stove was too small. It was mainly for a hunting cottage or a man cave. It wasn’t suitable for a house. What an idiot who first purchased it. I ended up selling it to a guy for a few hundred bucks. Then I was able to free up kitchen space plus love that location. Who would ever want to own a woodstove in the state of FL? That is just dumb.
