Flue systems have two main functions:
1) To remove the smoke, fumes and combustion gasses from the building safely and efficiently
2) To provide a sufficient amount of flue draught (suction) in the appliance to ensure the fire keeps
burning correctly.
The flue draught is caused by rising hot gases when the appliance is burning.
If any flue issues persist then speak to your installer before continuing to use the stove.
