Are wood burners getting smaller!!!

[Stubby]

Well, I've just checked mine, it's been in a year now and it's exactly the same size as it was when I fitted it.

 

I'll check again next year.

 

[matelot]

perhaps people should be investing in branch loggers to supply smaller stoves?

The guy who fitted the fire was HETAS approved so I think that his approval covers it. I can't think of a reason that Building Regs wouldn't approve it.

 

Thanks Capetown and neiln. Drawing from under the floor makes sense for many reasons so I will go that way.

Just checked max length mine will take..668 mm:lol:

[neiln]

I did this, chiselled a channel across the constructional hearth roughly brick sized (200x75mm), with a ledge chiselled out slightly wider

 

then put a double thickness of offcuts of floor tile stuck down over the top

metl vent/grill right at the back.

Decorative hearth will cover the lot

What's the deal with drawing air from under a floating wooden floor?.... where's the benefit in doing that?

cheers, steve

My thoughts as well, surely the supply should come from outside?

[richardwale]

And into the burner directly

Yes . As I stated before the colder air from out side is denser therefore containing more O2 giving better combustion in the stove .

There will be air bricks in the wall below floor level, so the air is from outside.

 

Once a carpet is fitted the floor will be pretty well sealed.
