    Thanks for your concern but It was an extension lead for temporary power while the electrics were off during renovations which are now back on.

    525mm is the distance from anything combustable and is 3 x the single skin diameter. So when you go through the ceiling with insulated flue it has to extend down into the room by at least 525 before you can think about single skin. If the wall behind your stove is masonry your single skin flue can be way closer but fireproof sheet and tiles fixed to wooden battens is classed as combustable. On one of my stoves , although there are stone walls I've had had to bring twin wall flue to just above the top of stove because single skin would be too close to an oak beam.

    Sorry I completely missed those or I wouldnt have posted. I get really pi$$ed with what I think are a combination of slow connection and all the flashing adds on this site that makes my screen jump up and down all over the place ,its difficult to keep track at times.

    I read one article where it said its better to blow air from the cold room to the hot room and duct the warm air back .

    I would look to go bigger especially as you dont intend firing for long periods so would need quicker warm up , then throttle it back by combination of air vent and fuel load if its on for longer . I have a 5kw stove that can put out 8 in a 70m3, 6.2m long room, your room is double that size . Mine takes around 4 hours to get the temperature up to 18 degrees the opposite end to the fire so will be fitting one with more oomph.

    There are woodburners available that can deal with the expansion without an open vent but are pricey

    Normal convection currents more or less do what you want without any pipes . Where do you intend providing the permanent extra air into the building from ,vents or sealed supply direct into stove

    Not allowed to cover it with cement board, the same goes for cement board cladding a battened wall within certain distance from stove or flue pipe

    I once removed 3 uncertified installed wood burners from a property for a vendor whos prospective purchasers couldnt get their mortgage agreed unless they were taked out. Dont know if it was an extreme case or not

    The fact you can see the brick colour means its burning clean, if you want them discoloured burn wet wood🤣. joking aside I doubt theres a paint would last on a refractory material

    If you cover the beam if its to close to comply with distance to combustables there has to be spacers so theres an air gap between the beam and metal , it also has to be a certan thickness metal...

    If that steel to concrete adaptor fits the id of existing flue you will loose the socket up effect so moisture/tar running down can seep through the joint and run down the outside of the metal flue.

    We have 3.1 kwh of solar pv panels and keep records of the amount generated . This May so far is down by 90Kwh over the same period last year so its certainly been more cloudy.

    It may be slow but my Makita Duc254 would be into a second 6ah battery after that amount if cutting. Ive just got the Parkside pole chainsaw and for 40quid its brilliant.

    Did I here it right when the blond presenter said the wood for the “leaky dams” was from copicing....it looked like pine to me?

    As said,Try Aarow, maybe an early Stratford but not 100% sure

    Your twinwall should protrude downward through the ceiling for a distance equivalent to 3 times the diameter of single wall flue it connects to. If you gain too much heat to the room by using a long single skin it can have a detrimental effect on flue draw, especially if its overall length is less than 4.5 m
  25. slim reaper
    Damper can be used if there is excessive draw in the flue but wouldn't think it necessary for your particular install . It allows fire to be shut down beyond its intended low limit leading to dirty glass
