You are likely correct.

Saturday before last I spent the day installing my chimney. If anyone ever needs the right fireplace company I suggest north Texas chimney over in krum.

Sunday got it covered up

Took a photo of the wall rough going in. Should be done with the electrical rough this weekend and started good on the plumbing.

Not sure if it was a space issue, potential leak or what, but I like the idea to bring the flue outside and then up.

Space issue. Cost over 1k extra to do it in chimney material. That double wall pipe ain't cheap.

There are plenty of wood framed homes built the same way, at least in track home subdivisions around San Antonio, I was just curious.

Maybe too late, but I'd put in a heatpump condenser instead of a straight-cool (same size); only a few bucks more and you could heat dual-fuel for about half the cost of straight propane. Plus, the heatpump never 'runs out'.
New heatpumps are ++ efficient down to 20 degrees (way cheaper than propane). Below 20 propane kicks in. Makes 1 tank last 2+ years!
Only suggesting this because I did exactly this on a home we recently moved into.

Ouch back at ya.

I believe propane is the way to go. I've got a friend that just built a home and his propane bills monthly through Trenton propane his home is 4200 sqft. Last month his electric bill was just north of 30 bucks his propane Bill was just south of 60 bucks.

huh? thats like $2 a day propane, or about 1 gallon(best price).
1 gallon = 92,000 btu (at 100% efficiency).
Even so, 92,000 btu / 24 hours = 3800 btu/hour (or enough heat to warm 10 gallons of water for a shower 50to90 degrees;

Even 'small buddy' puts out 9000/btu per hour;
I'd love to hear the details about this 4200 sqft house that is kept warm in a cold winter by 1/3 of a 'small buddy'.
