Question on chimney for a stove

    I'm planning on putting a stove in my kitchen. The problem i have is because of the lay out of my kitchen there is only one place to install the stove.

    I'm worried that i might have draft problems because of the position of the chimeny

    I will have to take the pipe for chimeny out through the wall right beside the conseratory and i'm wondering how high will the chimney pipe have to go up to eliminate draft problems(if any?)

    Will it have to clear the consertory roof ? (visually this will look ****) or can it just go above the house fasia. probably 6ft lower then consertory roof.

    Homebond recommend a floor to top of chimney height of 4.5m to ensure a good draught. Single storey chimney in a sheltered back garden / housing estate can be notorious for bad draughts.

    Hopefully some Stove people on Boards can give you more specific advice, or contact your local stove supplier.

    Check the yellow pages. Look for 'heating engineer', 'fire safety', 'civil engineering', 'builder' ect.....

    Seriously: the top of the flue must be higher than the roof.
