    Wall hung wood burning stove - flue question

    It's the back/outside wall of the chimney it would hang on, is that always single skin? Would that mean a lot of heat escaping out the back of a fireplace and be wasteful?

    Wall hung wood burning stove - flue question

    He says it's only possible with a single skin wall. I was just wondering if anyone had a work around as we couldn't find any apart from the flue coming out the top of the stove and up and out the wall as they usually do.

    Wall hung wood burning stove - flue question

    Hi. I'd like a wall hung wood burning stove in my Lounge with the flue coming out the back and heading horizontally out the house. I've heard that this isn't possible if the house wall is double skinned, which surely all house walls are? I'm told this is because the max distance the flue can...

    recommend a room thermostat with 0.5C or F increments?

    its in the hallway and that is by far the coldest part of the house and is quite large so takes some time to rise even 1 degree in temp. In the meantime the surrounding rooms get a few degrees hotter. we dont have trvs in all the rooms. ?

    salt disappearing from water softner when away on hol

    We just pulled the unit out and cant see any way to adjust the regen. There is a label on the top that says ' Regen : 17 or 26' and 26 is crossed out so i assume we are on 17 (whatever that means). Does this mean our softner can only be on 1 of 2 regen settings and we are already on the...
