Stanley Cara Insert stove

manusf

Hi Everyone, I am fitting a Cara Stanley insert stove & have attached the flexi fuel to the spigot using the grub screws provided but how do i seal this joint correctly before i move flexi to its final position.

Has anyone installed one of these?

any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi manusf
Google MI Flues. Look at system 35 when site opens, it will give you the exact details

Hi there
I got a cara+ insert stove fitted in March 2013, already I have been through one ash pan after returning it to the shop I bought it from because it had warped that bad I couldn't get it back in to the unit, now the same has happened to my second ash pan.
I was asked what I'm burning on it this really should have no effect on the ash pan should it?
Really angry and annoyed actually using a baking tray now

A lot does depend on what fuel your using some fuels are just to hot for stoves and can cause twisting and buckling of the metal.
So what are you burning in it.

Hi Robbie
I'm using doubles and blocks surely they should have been tested for high heats?
Many thanks

Doubles aren't suitable for stoves as they are to high temperature burning.
They will cause damage to stove and are also very sooty.You need to be looking at anthracite or any other manufactured smokeless fuel. Stoviods,supacite,are all good fuels

Hi Robbie G
Many thanks for your advice but what is that coal you mentioned and where would you get it? Is it more expensive than ordinary coal
Many thanks again ðŸ˜႒

Most fuel distributors do a range of coal that's suitable for stoves.stoviods are from king coal supacite is from Haynes fuel
Anthracite is available from all.
They are a bit more expensive but they're a lot cheaper than having to replace your stove due to heat damage.

Just wondering, what do you mean by Doubles? I am getting one of these stoves soon.

Doubles = coal which is about 50mm in diameter. Gives high heat output.
