What size of chimney or flue do I need for burning solid fuel?
Burning coal, coke or wood in an open fireplace requires a chimney or flue with a minimum internal diameter of 175mm (7 inches) and constructed of a material specifically suitable for solid fuel. For burning coal, coke or wood in a stove, the size of the chimney or flue required will be detailed in the manufacturer’s instruction and may be smaller than the 175 mm (7 inches) needed for an open fire. Your retailer, installer or chimney sweep will be able to advise you further.
