Solid fuel stove/cooker

Hi

Might be a stupid question but is it possible to install one of these (stanley type cookers) where there is no current chimney and if possible what would the installation cost be?

Thanks

They need a flue.
If you can position it on an outside wall a external stainless steel flue could be run.

Thank Robbie,

I was thinking something like that might be doable.

Is it possible to put a solid fuel cooker on an interior wall perpendicular to exterior wall with centre of flue 3 feet from the exterior wall? No existing chimney/flue in the kitchen. Single storey house.
If it's possible, how unreasonable would it be?

Thanks.

With wood-burning stoves for room heating etc. - those metal flues can go straight up and out through the roof: it has to be insulated where it passes through the structure (because it gets very hot and you don't want to set your roof on fire, LOL)

and you may need planning permission if the chimney pot is visible from outside (I'm not sure about that)

Why not ring up a supplier of stoves - look in the yellow pages - and see what they can suggest; plenty of wood-stoves are fitted this way, not sure if Rayburn or Stanley ranges are done the same way.

Thank you for replying, Katemarch. I'm seeking info in regards to a solid fuel Stanley cooker, not a stove.

It will be the main element in my central heating, so no planning permission needed unless recent additions/amendments to regulations have eliminated that as a Class 2 exemption (Schedule 2 – Part 1, Exempted development).

Ranges have some requirements that are a bit different in ways from stoves, and from what I can tell so far, it appears there may not be a workaround that will allow for proper installation of my cooker on the interior wall. I wish it could go straight up and out through the roof as you say. I'm trying to find out if it can or why it's not reasonable. The layout in the kitchen would be much better if it could be located it there.

I come to Boards for information that I feel I can trust and as an opinion before/after the supplier. Sometimes those here with experience, who are not the ones supplying or wanting to sell something, can give good unbiased feedback.

I appreciate your suggestions and your taking the time to reply.

Cheers.
