Stones Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 If nothing else, you have an extremely good flue monitoring system 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boiler flue has essentially created a smoke machine completely engulfing my security camera, which is 10x worse in night vision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Harris Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 @Nickfromwales can confirm this, or otherwise, but you may be able to fix this with a flue extension. A new house was built up the road from us a couple of years ago, and they had to fit a sort of "periscope" arrangement to their boiler flue, to avoid it blowing out across a footpath, and something like that might be a solution for your problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. These kinds of thing :- g These are called, "plume management kits" and can be all sorts of crazy arrangements for redirecting nuisance plume. .

SteamyTea Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) That last picture shows a right mess of pipe and cabling. And are those fridge magnets behind the door. Edited September 29, 2017 by SteamyTea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Harris Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Thanks, @Nickfromwales, those first photos look exactly like the "periscope" arrangement on the house down the road, and are exactly what I was thinking of. I shall try and remember that they are called plume management kits! It looks easy enough to retrofit one of these to an installation, looking those photos, so my guess is that one may offer an easy fix for the problem that @Grosey is having.

Nickfromwales Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 It does sometimes require the original flue to be either cut back, or replaced if it's too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grosey Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 Unfortunately I can’t see the wife agreeing to any form of plume management! Its not too bad during the day, the night vision makes it much worse. I’ll see how it works out over time but it’s more likely to become a security camera move than anything else.
