Flue In "new Build" House
9 Answers
Our house is "new build" and am thinking (just thinking mind) about installing a wood burning stove in place of the gas fire. Lots of pro s and con s I know and my wife is not too keen. One burning question (pun intended) is whether the present flue would be OK to use for the wood burner??
There is a chimney breast in the living room which accommodates the gas fire but no breast in the bedroom above. Where is the flue?? Is it built into the external wall? If so could it be changed if I had to get a new flue to accommodate the wood burner ? Cheers Chris

They're sized to bond in with conventional masonry blocks when laid in the usual manner. The difference is, they're hollow, with a rectangular hole running through them. In the bedroom, it looks just like a normal...

I'm afraid these are not suitable for wood or multi-fuel. You would need either a full height chimney built outside (or inside), or an insulated stainless steel woodburner flue.
