A wood burning stove question for those building an air-tight, self-build house with MVHR, I have two questions: 1. What is your stove of choice, as needs to be direct feed and air tight to not affect the balance of the MVHR 2. Can you self-cert/install, letting building control know you are doing so and signed off on completion of build?

Hi all. I seem to have snookered myself, but maybe (hopefully) there is a way around it... I have a stove planned for my living room, with a flue going straight up through the ceiling into the bedroom wardrobe space above, and on through the roof. Installer had planned on using Dinak DW or T600 flue, but... - 125mm flue outer diameter is 175mm - Receommended clearance between flue and combustibles (joists), 60mm - Space between joists (in first floor), 285mm So that suggests that my joists are 10mm too close for this to be compliant? - Can I solve this problem with a heat shield on one side (I think a heat shield needs 25mm circulation, but what are they and how thick are they?) - Any other flue system/brand that may squeeze in here? Related - is that 60mm clearance a manufacturer recommendation or a regulation? (The roof joists are wider spaced, so this problem just exists at first floor level) Thanks, James

I’ve just taken over a static caravan. The original stove has been removed and the flue pipe cut. I want to find a replacement adapter like that shown in the attached photos but am having difficulty, mainly because I don’t know what I’m searching for. So, if someone can tell me the name of the thing that would be incredibly helpful. Thank you. If you can tell me where to get the part I’d be even more grateful. James

After some online research I've decided to use a cement based backer board instead of plasterboard for the wall behind my woodburner, for increased fire protection. I had assumed that hardiebacker was the only game in town but the different BMs I've phoned have offered me 'multi pro' or 'aquapanel' instead. Is there any difference in the fire rating of these boards? And is there any other material that might be better for the job? Thanks
