Stove installations

    Not sure if this is the place but anyway I bought a house a while back that is wood framed. I noticed a house not in the same row but same type house as in wood framed. It had a stove flue coming out the wood framed wall and from the height of it, it doesn’t even clear the half the height of the house.

    This seemed like a fire waiting to happen, with the flue height I reckon it could be a diy job by the owner. I was just thinking surely you can’t go through a wood framed wall, it’s surely a fire waiting to happen

    It may not be a fire waiting to happen but it is certainly a carbon monoxide poisoning waiting to happen. The chimney will not have the draw required to extract smoke from the fire.

    Couple of regulations with regards to the flue, passing it through a wal, particularly a wall that is considered combustible.
