Wood Burning Stove - French Regulations ?

[Electron]

Hi

I want to put a wood burning stove into my house that unusually has no chimneys. The local fire supplier has said I can have a wood pellet stove (100mm flue - fan assisted) but can't have a traditional one with a stainless steel flue. If I did go for a full stove I'd need a proper chimney stack built.

Yet to find out why but suspect it could be because it's going to be hard work cutting through the two foot think stone walls.

Can anyone tell me what the French equivalent of building regs are for a wood burning stove with a proper flue please ??

Cheers

Chris

Wow - thanks all.

I plan to punch a hole in the wall behind the stove and run the flue vertically straight up an outside wall. Going up internally isn't really an option.

Good news is we have a couple of friendly builders so will ask them next.

We have a woodburner here and so will oversize as I want something I can leave to run during the day and/or overnight.

Will go read the links ..

Thanks Again

Ahh so I see where the small challenge lies

In the regs the chimney has to be .4m above the ridge peak



This is the other end of my house showing the high ridge. I'll need to put a couple of bends in the flue and run it closer to the peak as an exit.

More conversations to be had when I'm down in Feb.

Yup front of the house is lovely and you're absolutely right about spoiling it. The rear of the house is the same gable but with the garage and a soil pipe !!

This house is spookily similar - only they have a door ...



So it looks like it can be done but I think I will have two 45 degree bends to have the pipe start further over to the left and end up near the gable peak so that there is only a small pipe unsupported.
