"Your presumably supposedly humurous and definitely indignant post is typical of some arrogant and rude posters" Arrogant as deliberately misreading what I had stated so you could jump in with your size 12's and inflate your ego? "I have sold and fitted many gas stoves but fewer wood and SF...

You mean that the flue being a 5 inch will lack the draw to pull away the initial smoke. Yes maybe your right. But with the 10cm air pipe giving a nice through draft, I'm hoping that the smoke will take the path of least resistance and shoot up the chimney with vigor. And If I can't find any...

I have to learn the best way "of" burning. Not "what" to burn! Placing of the wood, turning them and use of the controls, things that you learn after using for a while. That's what I meant. Of course I was going to soak twigs and sticks with used engine oil, to give it a bit more umph! Dur...

It's a 7 to 10kw. I have 10cm ducting to go from the back of the stove, and under the floor, and then through a wall to the out side world. I don't know about smoke, I have to learn the best way of burning etc. It is an sia defra stove so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Ok, the top clay pipe was cracked, so no smoke test. But the steel liner did go through, so problem solved. I have found out that there is a tool for braking up the clay pipes. Apparently it's a pole that has metal balls that fly outwards when spun.

You mean remove the clay liner and replace it with a steel liner? Back to smashing the #### out of the clay liner with a lump hammer and a scaffold pole. Or taking the crown of the chimney off and pulling the liner out. If it fails a smoke test, I feel that I'll have nothing to loose by...

Thank you for your quick reply. In light of what you have said I'll ditch the steel liner, and go for a smoke test. We have a multi burner stove SIA Defra Ecosy+ Snug 7 -10kw, it recommends a 5 inch pipe, which is perfect for our chimney, and why I bought it; probably another reason why...

Hello, I need to remove the 5&1/4 inch clay liner from inside of my 1960's concrete block chimney as it is badly fitted. Like a dogs leg, there is no way to get a 5 inch steel liner up it; so the clay has to go. Can I get rid of it and keep the Hetas installers happy, with a steel liner...
