Woodburner/ Multifuel Burner For Workshop

Recommended Posts

I'd bite the bullet and stick a flue in given the advantages of a wood burner.

 

Obviously I did - the roof of my workshop is tiled. I took one tile out and replaced it with a roof flashing (ally plate with a high temp silicone "boot" bonded to it). Two lengths of twin wall 5" flue and a length of vitreous plus adaptors, a hat and odds and sods set me back nearly £300 for the flue but having used it last weekend with ice on the roof it'll be worth it once it gets proper cold and I can still work out there instead of wasting y life in front of the TV because it's too cold to work in the garage. I do want to look at the ash door and notice that the current model has a different style - I also want to play with extending the baffle forwards and I think fins on the vitreous enamel part of the chimney would be a good idea.

 

It would have been nice for the burner to be a little further into the corner than it is but that would have meant it was in the next row of tiles and I would have had to remove two or start cutting them so it was a bit of a compromise. The lost space in the corner is going to become the metal store.

 

But alternatively......

Either it could sit outside with the warm air ducted into your workspace or it could sit inside with the exhaust ducted out. Obviously ducting the exhaust would be a more critical job but more efficient as you would also have a length of toasty exhaust pipe radiating heat inside.
