It doesn't look much different from the last picture I posted about a month ago. though now, it works. All the parts for the chimney have been sourced, ordered, delivered and fitted. I fired her up and she burns like a dream, keeping me hot and toasty for the sake of three or four logs an evening. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH Brigitte.
The flue passes out through the wall directly behind the stove before rising to above roof level outside. I thought it would be easier this way to make/keep the chalet watertight. The home made double lined flue is insulated with perlite which is held in place with steel wool at each end of the second tube. The flexible outer tube starts before the insulating boards inside and extends some 15cm past the wall on the outside of the chalet. It also has a light steel wool stopper at one end to keep vermin and the worst of the draughts out whilst allowing much needed air flow close to the stove.
