Very Hot Breast

[Climber85]

6 inch is the diameter, this is the correct size for most woodburners. 904 is the grade of stainless steel, 904 is the highest quality grade and is usually warranted for 20-25 years. Sounds like a good quality install.

 

If the liner is laying against the side of the chimney it will warm the bricks, its the major cause of fires in thatched properties. The liner does get pretty hot.

 

As others have said I would be pretty sure you have no chimney fire, is there a cowl of some sort on top of the pot?. I assume so, you are not reporting smoke coming back into the room caused by a jackdaw nest in the flue which has maybe caught fire.

 

I assume you have not been burning wet wood since it was swept, it you have you may have tars in the flue which has ignited.

Yea it's all been done by a HETAS qualified installer. There is a cowel on the top but no sparks coming out though the breast is still very hot and woodburner is cold now. No smoke back into the room and not been burning wet wood apart from the odd bit of week old split ash!

Used to live in a barn conversion and had this all winter. The bricks will get hot and stay hot for ages which is why they put bricks in storage heaters as they retain so much heat. To me, it sounds like you dont have anything to worry about, believe me, you will know if you have a chimney fire from the roar.

Cheers fella, woke up and still alive! Had a good chat with the people who installed it today. Turns out it was all the best quality flu ect and is just where the flu is close to the bricks! Hate being such a worryer!!
