Maybe you want a wood-burning stove, but you don’t have a chimney. In this situation, the easiest thing to do is build a chimney using stainless steel, double-wall, insulated chimney pipe. In essence, this is just a system of various-diameter cylindrical sections—straights, elbows, corners, junctions, brackets, straps, ties—that allow you to build a tubular chimney up to roof level, meaning a chimney either inside or outside the building. The double wall results in a good, safe system, and the top-quality powder insulation within the double wall means not only that, to a great extent, the flue gases rise without condensing but also that you can run the flue up between floors (such as through bedrooms) without it being a danger.

What all this adds up to is that, if you want a chimney without working with bricks and mortar, you can have one. The system needs to be supported at regular intervals, as detailed by the manufacturer, with appropriate floor, wall, ceiling, and roof brackets and ties. I think overall that internal installation looks more attractive than external, and it is certainly easier to install, but that is just my personal view.
