Sitting round the stove in the evening of Sunday 18th, we were horrified to see the side of our new chimney flue glowing red hot. A double skin insulated flue should not do this. We had put a few pieces of offcut pine from the original wood frame building work in, and it was burning hotter than the olive wood does. Scary while it lasted, though no harm was done. I took a photo and we've given it to George who did the work. He is going to yell at the suppliers who will yell at the manufacturers and we'll see what happens. Meanwhile, we will take care not to use much pine at any time.
