You can try bracing it to the house by attaching steel brackets of some sort to the chimney and structure of the house to buy you a year, maybe, but even then i wouldnt want a couple 2x4's to hold up thousands of pounds of brick and masonry. Is there just that one flue in the chimney?
The house is fairly well insulated with good windows. It runs fairy stable around 60 on second floor. I run first floor at around 65. this is with temps in the teens at night and twentees durring the day. I would like tolike it warmer but wood supply and homemade boiler can only do so much.

As far as a fire in the house, as long as the stove is maintained right and installed properly, there is more chance that a bolt of lightning will hit your chimney and burn the house down than the stove doing it. Being ANAL and worrying about stoves/fire is a good thing, but not to the point of going nuts over it.
Can hot embers come out of your pellet stove and burn your house down
The house has radiator heat. The boiler kicks on intermittently when the thermostat shows that the house is 4-5 degrees above the set temperature. Is this a design feature of high efficiency boilers since it may take a while to bring the house up to temp with radiators or is there something wrong with the thermostat or boiler control?
Why does my gas boiler run when the house is warmer than the set temp?
I've installed a whole-house dehumidifier in my crawlspace. For various reasons (primarily drainage), I hung it from the floor joists above, using a simple platform made of 2x4s supporting a piece of plywood. Unfortunately, a lot of vibration is being transmitted into the house. I know the...
Hey guys, So I have a very small house in Western MA (main floor just under 900sq ft + walkout basement/built in garage which will not be heated, about 700sq ft of basement that will be heated). I have all electric baseboard heat on my main floor and my basement has a non-functioning gas stove...

Lehigh Valley Live: 10 most expensive homes sold in Northampton County, Nov. 10-16
From there the main to the house goes underground to the main house and comes up an exterior wall and actually above the ceiling into the attic space (under insulation but still meh). Kitchen sink and original shower are both exterior walls.
The past few days, creosote is running down the outside of the pipe that is inside the house, between the ceiling and the stove. The exterior pipe looks fine. Also, this fall we had resealed around the pipe where it meets the roof. I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions to help us figure out what is going on. Englander 13 - This IS our furnace.
A house from the 60's i would be really Leary of screwing any sort of anchor/screw into the brick chimney. everything is old and brittle. The only way to fix it properly is remove it and rebuild it especially if you can sway it.
Cheaper than many wood stoves a furnace that can heat an entire house? What do you think? anybody have any experience using one or know of them in use? (broken link removed)
I have no basement in my house - sits on a concrete slab. I have tile/hardwood/pergo floors and yes they are cold in the winter. We've got some carpet and rugs covering about 50% of the total area. Do you think I loose a lot of heat to the floor? If so, do you have any suggestions?
My house is "concrete slab" foundation (no basement). Am I losing heat ...
Hello! This is my first post, but I've already learned a lot by reading through these forums. I'm building an ICF house on the Colorado Front Range, and I'm looking for a recommendation. The style of the house and roof pitch leave me preferring a 13-14' chimney height (from top of...
