What is a flue and what does it do?
When we burn a fuel to release heat, gases are produced that need to be safely discharged to the outside atmosphere, where they quickly and harmlessly disperse. Solid fuel and wood burning appliances need a flue to create a movement of air and thus oxygen across the firebed to make them burn. The flue is the means used to convey the products of combustion from the cooker to outside. Any objectionable smells created are therefore also carried away by the flue.
A conventional flue (also known as open flue) uses a flue continuously rising from the top of the cooker and terminating above the highest part of the roof. A chimney built of stone or brick can be used for this purpose, providing that the inside is lined with an acid resistant material, again commonly referred to as the flue.
Alternatively the flue pipe from the cooker can be taken all the way up using special prefabricated flue systems consisting of twin-wall pipe and usually manufactured from stainless steel. Conventional flued cookers can be sited on internal or external walls within the property.
