The flue pipe from the stove to the chimney must be as short as possible to avoid cooling down the smoke. If the smoke does not have the right temperature, it may cause poor draft conditions and smoke inconveniences. Only one elbow ought to be connected to the stove as the smoke will face too much resistance. We have not been able to measure any difference in the draft conditions between a stove fitted with a top flue exit instead of a rear flue exit.

According to current building regulations, a flue outlet must be located a minimum of 1.6 meters from a door or window. For a stove you have the option of either going up an existing chimney with flexible flue liner, or making a hole in the wall and erecting a 'low-level outlet' flue here. It's important to keep in mind the proximity to a window or door of the top of this outlet, because of the current building regulations. See similar questions...

No. Since the pellets are so efficient, the stoves do not need a chimney. All you need to do is vent them outdoors with a 4” pipe through an outside wall. So, choose the room you congregate in, place the stove in that room, and enjoy the ease and warmth of pellet heat! You’ll also enjoy watching the flames—and the fact that there is very little ash to clean. See similar questions...

A single wall black or close clearance double wall black to the point you would break surface of a wall or ceiling. Then you must continue with a 2100 degree chimney pipe to the point where you would be 2-foot above the peak or ten feet away from the roof line. See similar questions...

This depends on soil conditions, length and depth of pipe, and equipment required. A typical installation can be completed in one or two days. See similar questions...

Yes, as long as the height difference between the two installations is at least 25 cm. You are allowed to install two stoves to the same chimney if the height difference is min. 25 cm. However, do never install a stove to a chimney where a gas furnace already is installed. Use separate flue pipe stacks for each appliance. See similar questions...

With Regency, your options are several. First, you can install a rear vent direct vent stove, which vents directly out the back with no vertical pipe whatsoever. If this is not possible, you can minimize the amount of visible pipe with either the 2-foot or 4-foot AstroCap horizontal termination kits for DV stoves. These kits use the minimum required height for our stoves, and then turn 90 degrees to go out your wall instead of up through the ceiling. See similar questions...

We have two-men crews that will spend approximately 45-60-minutes sweeping a masonry fireplace or woodstove chimney. A prefabricated fireplace chimney will take slightly less time, and a walk-in fireplace can take 2-3-hours. Return to top of Q & A Page See similar questions...

The smoke produced by combustion, due to its high temperature (200 – 250 °C) tends to rise by convection, the flue, thus creates a draught, channelling the waste gases out through the flue cap and at the same time drawing fresh air in to the heater to aid combustion. See similar questions...

The flue can be purchased in many different materials, fibre cement sheet, concrete pipe, earthen ware pipe, steel, copper, etc.. The selection of which is dependant on the individual installation, keeping in mind local laws and regulations, the installation specifications any of the materials may be suitable. One point not to overlook is that any external flue is to be correctly isolated and insulated. See similar questions...

Yes, a flue is required The flue begins from just inside the oven, never outside of the oven opening. This important design feature captures all the smoke, without allowing it to roll out the oven mouth, and maintains clear visibility through the oven opening at all fire stages to allow smoke to flow through.

In a nutshell, the traits of that approach are: Process Area description documents are prescriptive and implementation of the processes do not easily account for the inter-relatedness of the process areas to one another, or of the generic practices to the specific practices. Furthermore, the processes seem to be implemented out-of-step with actual development/project work. Nowhere in the descriptions or artifacts of the processes is it clear how and when the process gets done. See similar questions...

No, the exception criteria for gravity sewers do not apply to forcemains. A horizontal separation of ten feet must be maintained in all instances. No, when the water main crosses below a sewer, the sewer must be constructed with water main equivalent pipe or else either pipe must be installed in a casing. The protection must extend on each side of the crossing until the normal distance from the water main to the sewer or drain is at least ten feet. See similar questions...

Closed-loop systems should only be installed using high density polyethylene or polybutylene pipe. Properly installed, these pipes will last for many decades. They are inert to chemicals normally found in soil and have good heat conducting properties. PVC pipe should not be used under any circumstances. See similar questions...

Hexamine is a solid fuel block that burns with a good heat. Most people would know the fire starter blocks that are used in wood fired BBQ's and fireplaces. Hexamine is similar/the same. Troops are issued with a small metal device that holds the hexamine tablet and the cooking container off the ground. It is easily lit, fast acting and very light to carry. Originally the stove was a very light pressed metal hollow cube about 14 cms square and about 5 cms thick that folded out. See similar questions...
