Hello to you all my first post here 

I wonder if you’re able to help

We live on a farm around 8 years ago we took our old woodman double door log burner out its been in our garage

Ever since

My question is we have a huge double garage which we have converted to a gym room 

Can I install in my garage which I just want to warm up the garage in winter times

1 or 2 logs at a time just for a few hours

It has pipes coming from the back which used to heat the house and water  I’ll cap those off as I just want to use as log burner

Can I us the standard 1000mm x 6" Straight Flue Pipe which I can buy from machine mart or a twin flue ?

the garage is around 20M from any other building its not used any more as a garage just a gym

hope photo are ok to view

thank you all kindly paul

DO NOT CAP THEM OFF !!!!

 

You will create a bomb if you cap that off and then heat it up.

Is this one of those BH posters from whom we never hear of again and wonder if they took our advice or not :)

I'd go further and drill a few extra holes in the back boiler as well. Don't want any condensation coming out as a jet of steam.

Way to stop this is fill the boiler with kiln dried sand - acts as a heat sink and also  dries out any moisture
