Hello all, I would appreciate some advice regarding my multifuel burner that I'm about to have installed. I have recently bought this stove https://www.gr8fires.co.uk/arada-hamlet-solution-5-widescreen-ecodesign-ready-multi-fuel-wood-burning-stove-10080 to install at my house along with this cowl https://www.gr8fires.co.uk/pot-hanging-chimney-cowl-for-5-inch-flexible-flue# from Gr8Fires.co.uk . They were out of stock of flue liners so I ordered this flue liner from Stovebay https://www.stovebay.com/6m-flexible-flue-liner-316-316-150mm.html As you can see, I have ordered a stove with a 5 inch flue outlet and a 5 inch cowl, and then accidentally ordered a 6 inch flexible flue liner. Because I was away when these items were delivered I can now not return them it as it's past the 14 days return period. I know I can get an adapter for the stove top to change from 5 inch to 6 inch but does such a thing exist to adapt a 6 inch flue to a 5 inch cowl at the top and is that even advisable? Any suggestions much appreciated

My 5kw woodburner is 3 years old. My house has no chimneys, it was built on a housing estate in the 1990s.The living room flue is partly insulated. The insulated flue through the first floor passes thro’ a now little used much smaller wardrobe, there are no bends in the flue. The flue in the roofspace is within a metal cage The only evidence of the flue is the 1.5m of flue above the roof tiles. The flue in wardrobe is enclosed in a fireproof plasterboard duct with metal framing with at least a 50mm air space between the metal face of the insulated flue and anything combustible. A access panel was installed in the duct for maintenance purposes. The flue casing temperature is too hot to touch with the palm of my hand for more than a second or two. My question is could I isolate say one metre of flue with fireproof insulation and, using an inline fan, blow forced air into the ducting around the flue and out again as a heat source for the bedrooms. I would take advice as to whether I used flexible 75mm aluminium wrapped tightly around the flue or just blow the air into space around the duct. Would the cooling effect on the gasses in the flue have any detrimental effect? Any advice or comments would be welcome. Photos can be provided

Hello chaps. Hope this is in the right place... Looking to get a woodburning stove. I've had a couple of people come round to look at lining chimney. Both guys were saying different things about flue diameter. Am I right in thinking the diameter of the stove flue outlet and kw output of stove dictates the diameter of chimney lining? Do they need to insulate the chimney liner in chimney itself? (I'll be burning wood, possibly with a bit of coal sometimes) The living room is - H - 9' L - 20' W - 15' What sort of kw output would I need for a room that size? Thank you!
