Stove Makes Wall Very Hot - Plz Help

marko2k

Hello everyone iam hoping someone can guide me on the problem i have ?


Its my first stove so everything mite be ok but im unsure why its getting so hot, hence my post.

About 6 months ago i fitted my new stove myself, the house did have a open fire years ago but was coverd up

The stove draws and burns great no problems at all, ive used the stove about 20 or 30 times, but now winter is here, i will need to use propley everyday now

Stove is 6kw

From the wall to the stove is 7cm

From the top wall to the flue is 4cm

I Have many pics if needed

And its this top wall thats getting very hot probley from the flue pipe at the back of the stove

The top wall opening is supported by a lintel original and under this is a steel rsj there is heatproof render and heatproof plaster covering but small cracks have come

is it just me being paranoid ?

Thanks

I can't see the piccies unfortunately.

Is the opening to the flue where the liner passes completely sealed? i.e. you have fitted a register/closure plate?

Mine used to have a fair amount of gaps and the wall above the fireplace would get warm.

Since fitting a new piece of Hardiebacker and sealing with mortar and fire cement it doesn't get nearly as warm.

No reg plate is fitted

Its the fire surround above the flue were its very hot

Is the flue coming out of the back of the stove and then going up or is it just the angle of the picture?

If it's directly out of the back i don't think that's compliant with regs.

Also what's the wall construction type?

Yeah I already tried replacing with http. I can now see the image for a few seconds then it disappears.

I would definitely fit a plate either way. You're losing warm air up the chimney otherwise.

The stove had two options top and back, so i used the back one, is this a problem ?

The stove pipe connects to the back 120mm straight pipe then 90d then up

thanks to everyone helping

The wall is solid brick at least 3 bricks thick

I think, and this is a think, that if the pipe comes out the back it needs a "T" piece as a soot trap / sweep access.

Looks something like this -

Otherwise i'm not sure how you'd sweep it out as the brush isn't going to go up a right angle.

Mind you, i can't see how you could get into sweep it even if you did have that "trap" anyway. Access is somewhat limited to the sides

I suppose you could top down sweep but how you'd get the "deposit" out of the pipe at that bend, i don't know.

Is there anything in here that helps:-

Someone like greenfires or muckybutt are probably your best bet.

Yeah, T-piece required so you can do a top down sweep and remove deposits
