Hi

Looking at all the woodburner threads here has had me thinking of one but is there a minimum height to the top of a flue for woodburmer? I have about 3m to the top of a striaght chimney-It's a single storey extension.
Thanks in advance.

Have a look at the building regs document. Moew of an issue is where the flue comes out - there needs to be a decent airflow around it so there are rules relating to positioning in relation to roofs etc.

Building Regs part J I think covers it all.

Just going through this at the moment. As I understand it you need to be 900mm above any opening window within 3m of the flue.

I dont think length of chimney is an issue for how well the stove will work.

I've recently been told by a fitter that it's 4.5m minimum.
