Where the wood stove used to be, I plan to place a cleaning cupboard and wardrobe against the chimney.
I plan to apply some B-mortar first so the chimney holds together after I remove the base of the wood stove.
Can I place the cabinet frames directly against the chimney, or should I have an air gap behind?
It is the cold side of the chimney with an unused flue for the former wood stove and then the duct from the kitchen I plan to run a duct to the new stove a few meters away.
Previous kitchen cabinets and a wooden wall went all the way against the chimney and it has worked for 70 years.
