can see all the scaffolders in england cringing at this one................

i would be looking for the walls to be around 5 or 6mm not 3mm to be worth the bother of fitting it. you gets what you pay for there friend. happy shopping.

don't do it. the air control is not very good and the warrenty issue is another story. look on ebay for a second hand hunter or similar, if you see one, drop me line and i'll tell you if it worth buying.. adie.k- stove installer.

stubby. don't want to rain on your parade friend, but no solid fuel burning appliance can run at 98%. you are well into condensing appliances at this efficiency and that just aint solid fuel. sorry - physics doesn't allow it. adie.k registered installer.

hi. there is nothing in the regs that says you have to have a liner. but if you are unsure of the condition of your chimney, it is always better to stick on the side of caution. as far as the insulation goes, the warmer you keep the flue gases, the less they will tar up your chimney and the quicker they move up and out. stops condensation in the chimney, so again, it would be prudent to do it. if you have a modern house a 5 kw stove will be fine in a room of that size. anything over 5kw and you need an air vent. the flue liner size should never be smaller than the collar on the stove and if the stove is half decent with a 5kw output, the fluesize will be 125mm dia. some installers put in a 6" flue but the building regs were changed to allow a stove to b fited under a 5" because of the increased efficiency of modern appliances. hope this helps. adie.k

Hi guys. Can you tell me where to buy a load of cordwood in warks. Preferably hardwood. There seems to be stock available all over the country except here. Any recommend greatly appreciated.

hi. he might be right if the liner in question is jointed the wrong way. some gas installs are put in upside down and therefore not suitable for solid fuel. your other post is right though, it does help with flue performance and output off the stove. what type of appliance is it?

hi. can i be obvious and ask if your stove has a damper in the flue. can't make it out but it looks like a savoy from franco belge. if so, the stove is a good unit and usually trouble free, as the previous posts have said, try and crack a window open when lighting to get some air movement. chimney clear- enough ventilation-door seals okat- it can only be a chimney proble. look for downdraught ( if you are in a low pressure zone or the terminal is sited in the wrong place on the roof.0 do you have a open pot or the right type of terminal? A few things to check before you start to call in the sweep again. best of luck.
