New Henley stove making loud banging noises

cathalj

Hi,
Got a Henley insert stove fitted a week ago, its currently lit, not a huge or very hot fire, only using logs, and its making very loud banging/ clanging noises. Have lit it before on 4 occassions and nothing like this. Should I be worried or is it only "bedding in" ??
Ps. No back boiler.
Thanks for any help.

Sorry,
I know this is probably the wrong forum, but I don't know how to move it to a more appropriate one, if any Mod wants to move it I'd be obliged !

If its the achill i wouldnt worry about it.

It has a tin box around the stove its where the air travels around the stove. The tin will bang a few times while it beds in. We got a couple of frights at the start with the loud pops.

Dont light to big of a fire for a few weeks

Hi, sorry for bothering you, was just wondering how long you had to put up with the banging noises....... its been every night now, every 30 seconds or so , for at least an hour or two when there's any sort of flame at all. Driving me mad !!! Fires not particularly big as its so mild.
Starting to doubt it will pass on its own.
Did yours just stop on its own ?
Thanks

don't think it was that bad. i have it in over a year it still bangs now but only if i fire it up hot fast and maybe only once or twice. ive insulation stuffed in around the stove fairly tight that might have dampened the sound a bit.
at this stage i would have given mine a good hot firing it might aid the bedding in

Thanks, they did put some insulation in, but not sure how much......I got a new fireplace installed too and when the fire has cooled off next morning I have water drops (must be condensation) coming through from joint in mantel piece so think I I'll ring them tomorrow and get them back..... (suppose it would be a hassle to remove it and put more insulation in)
Thanks for your help, much appreciated !

is the chimney lined with flexible flue liner? (the flue should be the corect diameter for the stove for the henley achill i thinks its 5" if its bigger you wont get a very good draw up the chimney). if so is there vermiculite insulation between the flexible flue and the chimney? (this is needed to keep the flue warmer longer) you really don't want condensation in your chimney(condensation is created by the warm gasses rising and coming in contact with the cold chimney) all the soot will get caught on the condensation and build up on the chimney creating creosote and could ignite causing a chimney fire. creosote burns and very high temperatures that is why its so dangerous.

also best to get a cowl to keep the rain out if you don't have one.
