My folks recently go a nestor martin insert stove fitted to their exisitng fireplace ope (a 10kw multi fuel stove - IT 33 i think). A section of liner was added to connect the stove to the exisiting flue. Problem is is that the folks are having to feed the bloody thing with an astonishing amount of fuel with poor resultant heat being thrown out.......all the heat is going up the chimney. I was constantly trying to get the installers (who supplied stove as well) to come back to rectify..........but as luck would have they've now gone bust.
The solution is probably to line the whole of the flue up to the chimney top.........is there anything else we could try..
