Hi all,
Hope everyone is having a smashing day.
This week, I had a Wood Burner installed in my home. We had a work done to widen the fireplace, and a new fancy fireplace surround put in. Very nice.
And also of course a wood burner was installed.
It looks fab.
We're still outstanding the final works being done to adapt the top of the chimney on the roof. That couldn't be completed because of the icy weather.
Anyways, I'm concerned with how it has been installed internally though.
During the install, there was a period where the engineers stopped their drilling and banging and stuff and were having a bit of a hushed conversation.
Then one of them nipped out and came back with a part. He told my missus (I wasn't there) that "the boss had made some mistakes with the measurements, and so we've got this part for you with no expense to yourselves to complete the install".
What they've done is inserted a 45 degree elbow in the pipe that comes out of the stove, and then another 45 degree elbow shortly after in the opposite direction so that they can offset the pipe exit from the stove to the hole in the chimney.
There is 6 inches of pipe coming out of the burner before the elbow.
I'm a bit worried about this. It looks like heat from the stove will directly be hitting the elbow in the flue.
Does this sound right to you guys?
I would include pictures but not sure how to attach.
