Typical installation through the ceiling 
FIGURE 2.2.1 (B) Typical Installation Through the Ceiling 
1.  Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to mark the 
ceiling directly above your stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position 
slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the joists. You can use a stud 
finder to locate the joists. You also need to take into account the minimum 
clearances to combustible materials. After you have determined where the 
chimney will go through the ceiling, use a spoke saw or power jig saw to cut a hole, 
remembering that you need a minimum 2-inch clearance between the chimney and 
any combustible materials. Depending on whether you have a one or two story 
structure, you will need to cut a matching hole through the floor of the attic or 
second floor living space.
