beast 1,884 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 i want to put a wood burner in my sitting room. there is an existing chimney which is boarded up but as far as i know still functional, and i am told that there is a back boiler behind the fireplace. i'm not sure exactly how its all set up as i havent had the boards off yet, and dont want to start a job which i cant finish! can i simply put a woodburner into the fireplace and run the flue up the chimney, or is there more to it than that?

Rabbithunter 456 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 If its a masonary chimney. Then you dont need a flue liner. But if in any doubt get someone professional to install it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vanman1 411 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 If your house is more than 30yrs old and or you have any doubt about the chimmney then line it. Wood burner short length of solid pipe through registar plate join to flexi liner terminate with cowl,you are better filling the stack with vermiculite once liner is installed helps retain heat and stops condensation forming in the flue.To install one is very simple but if your in any doubt call in an expert.

Moel 18 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 About £1000, which is ridiculous given tbe work involved..... Be really carefull withe tbe backboiler, either make sure it's working fully or take it out, otherwise you risk a large BOOM! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
