      If windy days are causing spillage into the room with your Hunter Stoves Stove, it is because a down draught in the flue is caused by air turbulence due to nearby buildings or trees. Weather conditions combined with the flue terminal position can have an effect on the stoves performance, so it is best to speak to your installer.
