I'm thinking of putting a stove in a room without a fireplace, so it'll just have the stove on a hearth against the wall with the flue going up inside the room and through the ceiling.
I cant seem to find many pics showing what they look like with the full length of pipe. I'm not sure if a stove on small legs (eg one that would fit in a fireplace) will look right with the big length of pipe coming out. Most photos i can find either crop off the pipe shortly above the stove or have a stove with longer legs (eg convector or more modern looking styles which are more expensive).
So, has anyone got a freestanding stove on short legs with a big pipe coming out the top they could post a pic of?!!
Reason i'm asking is i can get some really good deals on the standard shot leg models, but all the convector ones or modern tall style ones are all much more expensive.
cheers.

I had something similar fitted earlier this year. I actually removed the existing fireplace, plasterboarded it and then ran the pipe up the wall, through the ceiling and tied it into the old existing chimney.
It looks fantastic, and I've had loads of positive comments about the look of the aluminium pipe as a feature. We sat the stove on a glass hearth plate, which in my opinion, is much less-intrusive.
In terms of stoves, you probably want to check regulations, as I am fairly sure they are now covered by Building Regs in England.
I'll see if I can get a photo attached later when I get back in from work.
