A wood-burning stove (or wood burner or log burner in the UK) is a heating appliance capable of burning wood fuel. Generally the appliance consists of a solid metal (usually cast iron or steel) closed firebox, lined by fire brick, and one or more air controls (which can be manually or automatically operated depending upon the stove). The first wood-burning stove was patented in Strasbourg in 1557, two centuries before the Industrial Revolution, which would make iron an inexpensive and common material, so such stoves were high end consumer items and only gradually spread in use. The stove is connected by ventilating stove pipe to a suitable flue, which will fill with hot combustion gases once the fuel is ignited. The chimney or flue gases must be hotter than the outside temperature which will ensure combustion gases are drawn out of the fire chamber and up the chimney 🔥

We get asked – and always do our best to answer – a lot of questions by people who are considering buying a wood-burning stove. A significant proportion of those questions start, “Can you install a wood-burning stove…?” With plenty of myths, misconceptions and misinformation floating around, many people are left wondering whether or not installing a woodburner in their property is even possible. So, with that in mind we’re trying to answer as many of those “Can you install a wood-burning stove…?” as we can in one post. Here we go. Can you install a wood-burning stove if you don’t have a chimney? Yes, there is no reason why you can’t install a wood-burning stove just because you don’t have a chimney. For most properties without a chimney, a twin wall flue will serve as the ideal chimney replacement. Can you install a wood-burning stove yourself? Logistically, yes, you can install a wood-burning stove yourself: it can be a fairly straightforward DIY job. But there are a few reasons why we recommend you leave the installation to a professional who is HETAS registered. Firstly, it’s not like putting up some shelves and one falling down. If you get something wrong with a stove installation, you’re potentially allowing poisonous gases into your home. Secondly, if you do the installation yourself, you will still need a HETAS engineer to check and certify the job to get a Certificate of Compliance. Registered HETAS engineers can self-certify the installation as being in compliance with building standards. Can you install a wood-burning stove without a flue liner? Yes, you can install a wood-burning stove without a flue liner as long as the stove is connected to a sound chimney that’s functioning properly. The advantage of using a flue liner even if you do have a good chimney is to improve performance. The draw up a flue pipe with a six-inch diameter should be stronger than up an open chimney. This can provide a more efficient burn, as well as minimising flue gases condensing in the chimney and forming creosote deposits. However we would always recommend a flue liner with every installation. Can you install a wood-burning stove in a flat? There is no specific reason why you can’t install a wood-burning stove in a flat, but there are a number of complications. If your flat has an existing fireplace, you’ll need to check – logistically and legally – how it connects with other fireplaces in your building. Ideally, you’ll want your fireplace to have its own flue right the way to the chimney pot, so that your installation doesn’t really impact on other flats. If there’s no existing fireplace, you’ll need to work out how to install a twin wall flue. If that entails running a flue pipe up the side of several neighbouring flats, you would need permission from each property. Can you install a wood-burning stove in an existing fireplace? Yes, you can install a wood-burning stove in an existing fireplace. The simplest way of doing so is by installing a inset stove, which will slot straight into a standard fireplace opening without the need for any building work to open up the fireplace. Can you install a wood-burning stove in a conservatory? Yes, you can install a wood-burning stove in a conservatory. As with any other room in your home, the installation must comply with building regulations. The aspect of the regulations that might be slightly trickier than in other rooms is adhering to the minimum distance to flammable materials, particularly when it comes to installing a flue through a polycarbonate conservatory roof. This can be achieved through the use of a twin wall flue and rubber flashing. Can you install a wood-burning stove in a new home? Unless your developer has made you agree to conditions to the contrary (which would be very unusual) there is no reason why you can’t install a wood-burning stove in a new home. The only requirement would be compliance with wood-burning stove building regulations. Even if the new build property has no chimney, a woodburner installation could be achieved with the use of a twin wall flue. You will need to ensure the flue outlet height, hearth design and size and distance between the stove and combustible materials are in accordance with the regulations. Can you install a wood-burning stove in a mobile home? Yes, you can install a wood-burning stove in a mobile home. Since mobile homes are not covered by building regulations, the onus is on you and your installer to ensure the installation is safe. This includes making sure your stove is a suitable distance away from flammable materials. Can you install a wood-burning stove in a kitchen? Yes, you can install a wood-burning stove in a kitchen, but you are likely to need a woodburner with an external air supply. Until a couple of years ago, you weren’t allowed to install a stove in a room in which there was any form of mechanical extraction in operation. This included the use of extractor fans that are above the vast majority of cookers due to fears that the fan could ‘pull’ harmful gases into the room. New regulations permit such installation as long as the stove has an external air supply that makes it independent of the ventilation within the kitchen. Can you install a wood-burning stove if you live in a city? Yes, urban dwellers are just as entitled to the warmth of a woodburner as the rest of us. You can install a woodburner even if you live in a smoke control area, one of the designated zones in which burning fuel was banned in to tackle smog in the 1960s. In order to install a wood-burning stove that can be used in a smoke control area you simply need to choose a DEFRA exempt wood burner(StoveSpecialistsUK always recommend DEFRA approved stoves as standard). These are appliances designated for use in smoke control areas by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. See our full range of DEFRA exempt stoves on our website.

🔥Is Your Home Powercut Proof🔥 BE PREPARED !! If you have experienced stormy weather like we have at the beginning of the year, then this blog post will open up a whole other reason to get a wood burner installed. Rainy, snowy and windy conditions can cause a whole load of problems when it comes to electricity and technology in your home. As heating solutions are becoming more and more reliant on technology, it is a shock when this luxury is taken away from you. Many heating systems are controlled by not only electric but from a smartphone over Wi-Fi and when the electric goes down, what do you use to keep you warm? I bet the next thing you would turn to would be a gas alternative but this is not the be all and end all in these conditions. The lighting system is normally dependent on electric so no heat from your gas fire either! Now you are struggling to keep your young and elderly ones warm, be sure to turn to your trusty wood burner. Homeowners that already have a wood burner installed would have been quietly looking smug during these horrible weather conditions as they are the only ones that would have had not only heat but also light. It would have taken numerous candles to create as much light a wood burner does. So when you are unsure as to whether to buy a wood burner, remember it is not only about the beauty, which they have in abundance, but also about the practicality and the realisation that they could be a savour in these cold winter months.

The fact that your home has no chimney does not mean you cannot enjoy the benefits of a woodburner. While an existing fireplace does make for a simple installation and means you can simply lower a flue liner down the existing chimney, installing a woodburner with no chimney currently in place in the room is easier than you might expect. Installations in properties with no chimney require the use of twin wall flue. Twin wall flues have two layers of metal and a layer of insulation between them. The flue pipe you typically see in use with woodburners is single wall flue. Since your flue pipe will need to pass through a combination of some or all of expanses of your room, walls, ceilings and floors, the external temperature of the flue pipe needs to be lower than would otherwise be the case. There are various other ways of achieving the goal, so our installer will be able to find the right solution for your property and your plans for the woodburner. The key consideration in these circumstances is to make sure that the twin wall flue runs high enough above the location of the stove to create a draw that will allow the appliance to work efficiently and effectively. If this is not achieved, your stove might not burn very well or smoke could come into your room through the air vents.
