Wood Burning Stove - Outside

KenjiOdo

Any rules/regs on this?? Can you even get an outside one?

Would be placed beside/just inside a container that is used as a garage, beside a boundary wall adjacent to road. We are 2m below road so chimney would be about road level..

you need to install a permanent vent - they can hose out carbon monoxide under the right conditions

I get that but if vent smoke is going out at street level?? Would I face complications?

CO detection within the room required, would be advisable to also install a smoke detector.
Venting to public road may be a breech of EPA regulations.

tell us more about the stove, is it for central heating or wha?
don't follow.
in any event 2m stack not enough for normal stove: need double that at least

Its a steel cargo container in front garden, thinking of converting into small workshop and would like a wood stove to burn scrap pieces etc to keep me warm in cold weather.

I would probably have to cut a hole through roof, but the flue pipe? Would have to 1m according to the above diagram of flat roof. My main concern is the roof of container is about level with outside road or 50cm below it. Thus smoke would go directly onto road and may cause a hazard, basically would that matter/ what are my options get a 2m flue from roof??

workshop in front garden is a no no with the LA, am surprised they have not got on to you yet for the container in front garden.

fitting a stove etc as proposed will certainly bring it to their attention

Burning rubbish such as plastic bags and other scrap timber such as mdf and chipboard and other man made timber in a domestic stove is verboten, period, as the fumes are carcinogenic.

have a look here

the complaints procedure for the public is here:

Also the diagram says: not less than.
Implicit in the diagrams is that there is a substantial flue below roof level
