Chimney
A good draught in your chimney is paramount to how well a stove will burn.
Note that there should be access to cleaning doors.
The effective height of your chimney should typically range between 3.5 and
4.5 metres. Effective height is to be understood as the distance from the stove
top to the top of the chimney.
The inside diameter of the chimney shall be a diameter of min. 150 mm
(interior dimension) in steel chimneys and a minimum diameter of 175-180 mm
in brick chimneys or chimneys of ceramic units as their inside surfaces will
frequently be rough and offer resistance.
All joints and connection points shall, of course, be tight, and the chimney shall
be able to provide a draught of a min. 1.2 mm water column (16 Pa).
Register
If your chimney has a register, it should have a forced aperture of min. 20 cm
