Hi I'm installing a godin wood burner with an 80mm diameter exit which is about half way up at the back. I would like to pass the flue (metal tubing) directly out the back of the fire through the wall which is 60cm thick. This would then go on a T-piece with a blank on one end to allow for cleaning and the flue will then go up through an outside chimney which I'm going to build around it.
At the moment I've partly built the chimney and have tested the stove out but I'm getting smoke out the top of the stove when I light it and now and then afterwards as the stove burns. Bare in mind I'm
only using 8ft of the flue during this test. Is this problem because the flue is going horizontally out the back of the fire before going up rather than vertically straight from the stove? Or could it be because the chimney/flue is not at full height yet? This is my first attempt at installing a wood stove, flue and chimney so any advice would be much appreicated! Dan
