New wood burner and flue

[mendiplogs]

All too small. If it can't take a two foot log, what's the point!?!?

 

Hi BIG JON ours will a good size logs 28" logs but runs better on 12)14 " logs thanks Jon

Normal arrangment:

Obviously require to insulate where it goes through the floor, but no reason not to use single skin steel flue pipe upstairs.

Or?

Consider an annular gap twixt the floor and the flue to allow the excess warm air to rise up through to the upstairs?

Because I suspect though some insulation round at least some of the flue is necessary to keep the flu gases hot enough /warm enough so as to ensure a good "draw" ?

Also more issues with condensate running back down if the flue is too cold.

i.e No free lunches.

you can only use maximum 1.8 M single skin flue from the stove and it needs to be 3 times its diameter from the ceiling

At last!

My bungalow is currently in the process of turning into a house.

Planning includes a wood burner.

 

Any recommendations would be helpful. Living room will be about 5mx5m, but I'd like to leave doors open to crank the heat elsewhere, so rather go bigger than smaller.

Must be able to take 12" logs, as small logs grind my beef.

 

Also, is it possible to have the flue in the upstairs bedroom acting as a vertical radiator, or is that a bad idea and better off boxed in?

 

Thanks.

stick with a 5Kw stove then you wont need an air vent

a decnt cheap stove and modern looking take a look at GREYMETAL nero 5 these are the same as a Yeoman stove

if you want a more expensive stove then CLEARVIEW

To get the heat upstairs cut a vent in the ceiling above the stove, then make a box around the vent opening beneath the upstairs floorboards and add another vent where you want the hot air to come out, did this with mine and it keeps upstairs very warm.

I have an aarow stratford I think, its a boiler stove, wider than it is deep so it takes a long log and you see a lot of the fire. Esse do one with a wide door too.

cough cough

wot e said

cept fancier.

PS

Niftysteve,

If there is no ceiling (an annular gap), do those rules:lol: still apply.

Since the rising room air will insulate around/cool down the flue pipe and prevent heat getting trapped next the ceiling.

cheers

I have a dovre 12kw, it's a bit like an open fire with doors, so works like a wood burner has a blast like a fire, can fit 2 ft lumps in and has a convection system behind.

 

It takes air in at the base passes it behind and it comes out of a vent in the next room/upstairs/my log store.

 

So your logs are pre heated along with your bed!

Burley Wakerley 12kw nominal output. Brilliant stove.

[log on tommy]

westfire one about 4 kw, good looking simple steel stove that seems to punch well above its weight. my folks have put in a 10 kw stove for twice the money and I swear mine throws out more heat
