jocky 198 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 when they fitted my log/multi fuel burner, they said i had to have the cowling/ cap on the top.. And you MUST get a carbon monoxide alarm. They told me they can be worse than gas if you get a leak or not sealed properly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

collieman 45 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I had the same when I fitted a stove, problem with tar from wood running back down which is caused by too large a flue size causing gases to be to cold, solution installed a stainless steel flue never had the problem again but remember to use seasoned wood. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

irishfoxhunter 64 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 You have one of the fittings upside down on the flue , pipes should fit inside the one below it as you assemble it. Any condensation will stay inside the line as it runs down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haymin 2,465 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 That must be the bent at the top going into the wall that's was for the old Rayburn I just used that bend as it was there already and just connected it from there , I did it all in a day was just needing it done , hopefully it shouldn't be to bad , thanks Jim ?

I think the first symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning is losing your sense of direction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jocky 198 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 this is my log/multi fuel burner. It is running 5 rads and does all the hot water as well . will run up to 9 rads. I did cost £5500 to have it fitted with all the pipe work rads water tanks ect.. But the good point is my gas bill is only between £20-£25 per quarter, as i have only got a gas hob. And yes the glass does need cleaning. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
