I am the proud owner of a newly installed WS Aoife Stove. It's great, it has been very nicely installed and I love it - there's just one thing...the noise in the chimney. This noise did not exist when we had the open fireplace.
On Friday the lads removed and opened up the fireplace, put in new lintels, the scamolex boards etc and then came back on Monday to fit the stove/flue liner etc. Over the weekend it sounded like motorbikes were going by the house, presumably from the wind whistling down the chimney. I was hopeful come Monday when the flue liner and chimney hat were fitted that this noise would go away and certainly the buzzing sound has stopped but there is significant wind noise.
the exact components I have are:
FL/125/5 Clamp Collar for 125mm Flexi
FL/125/7 Chimney Hat for 125mm diameter flexi
FL/125/8 Flue Joiner for 125mm diameter flexi TK/0309/09
FL/SF/125/10-316 9 Meter Pack Flexi Flue for Solid Fuel
Is the problem the chimney hat? I've heard there are H shaped chimney hats - would they be better?
thanks
