**Originally Posted By: dandersen** **This post was automatically imported from our archived forum.** * * * | **Quote:** | | Venting more than one appliance into a common flue is still permitted in some states and localities. Multiple use of a single flue is dangerous, especially if a spark or burning soot or creosote has access to the house through an unused opening. Additional problems with fluctuating draft can be experienced if a wood stove and an oil or gas hot water heater are connected to the same flue. Back puffing could extinguish the pilot in the water heater causing, at the least, an inconvenience. | [http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/FR018](http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/FR018) * * * ---

I had a wood furnace for years and it only had one entrance into the chimney but the wood came into the bottom of the oil furnace flue pipe just before the chimney. * * * – Roy Cooke Sr. [http://Royshomeinspection.com](http://Royshomeinspection.com)
