Room sealed stove (wood burner) out the side wall?

magnethead · 2018-09-26 14:39:22

Hi there, I'm looking at sticking in a cassette stove on a new build, 8KW wood burner, probably never be used, but have to keep the misses happy :rolleyes: Can I install the Flue that I'm looking at below? straight up about 2.5M and our the wall horizontal? That would allow a false breast and cheapen the deal a bit. No…

No Chimney breaking the roof like this.

Thanks

Thanks Dathi, that's makes for depressing reading, I was planning on dying of carbon monoxide poisoning and it looks like a horizontal flue is a good way to do it.
Soot balls flaking off the flue and falling back into the flue clogging it.

I must have lost my ability to search, because I did try before posting this, now I see plenty of threads showing similar discussion in the past

Thanks Jimbey, I guess that would be the only option, I wanted to avoid a big dirty stainless tube hanging on the outside..
Might break the roof afterall and go standard option.
I think it's good to keep as much of the chimney internal too, to help with a good draw. Maybe is doesn't matter as much with a stainless insulated liner..

Bioethanol fire might be the way to go, as the fire is only needed as a show piece to keep the wife happy.

Man, these fireplaces are crazy expensive, but probably cheaper then breaking out a chimney(or roughly the same cost).

Some good info on Bioethanol fireplaces on boards.

Off topic I know, but can you tell me what roofing material you are going for over that room?
