They seem to worry about the free flow of smoke and gases. Possible build up of these in the top of stove and escape when door of stove is open. Stove won’t draw as well with rear exit pipe.

I've got two wood burners on a shared internal chimney stack. One uses rear flue, one top, the rear one is significantly better, heats the room much better and burns better too.what a load of bullocks!
That's bollox too , 45 out the back
Get a proper size stove for the inglenook, 14kw hunter herald here in the old sandstone inglenook, top flu into thermocrete lined chimney, can hardly stand the heat when it’s running full tiltIs it , worst thing you can do is stick a woodburner in an inglenook , looks great but heat loses are huge . get the fire in the room not warming the chimney breast
This is crap

Was a standard back boiler open fire up until a few years ago, had a chimney fire 1 Tuesday night which set fire to the jackdaws nests in 2 of the unused chimneys in the stack of 4, couldn't touch the bedroom wall where disused chimney was for the heat, firemen said it was 1 of the hottest they'd seen on their thermo cam, internal chimney collapsed with the heat, so ended up pulling old fire out finding the inglenook, lining flu with a balloon tube and pumping full of thermocrete slurry from above which fills every nook and cranny leaving a clean 9" flu once its hard and balloon deflated, then the stove fittedThat fireplace could tell some stories I reckon. Looks ace.
We've an 8kw Burley, this is it's 10th or 11th year and apart from needing a new fireboard at the back (due to people firing big blocks in to it like missiles ) it's as good as the day it went in.We have a 5kw burley cracking little burner, fill it with a decent log at 9pm and it's still hot at 7am, chuck in a new log open the vent and it roars into life, not the cheapest but well worth the cost.
Boiler stoves are generally better as multi-fuel.sorry to jump in .... i am looking to fit a wood burner with back boiler to run some rads , but due to European regs there does not seem to be much choice . any ideas on types left out there and suppliers
We’ve just had a Charnwood 5kw fitted, and what size of log are you using to last through the night?We have a 5kw burley cracking little burner, fill it with a decent log at 9pm and it's still hot at 7am, chuck in a new log open the vent and it roars into life, not the cheapest but well worth the cost.
I’m in exactly the same situation. Heating system was designed to run on wood burner, oil fired boiler or mixture of the two. Never fitted a wood burner at the time due to trying to save a few pennies after almost complete rebuild of our farmhouse. Now struggling to find anything that is the right size/output, doesn’t look like some modern art sculture & don’t need to mortgage my house to buy!

I'm 15yrs behind you, but even so between thinning and coppicing I should now be pretty much self-sufficient for as long as I'm fit to cut it.This might be the time to mention that planting up those odd corners with a few trees isn't a bad idea. I put some in >25 years ago and they are now heating my house. 25 years may seem a long time but it goes frighteningly quickly!
The major stove manufacturers seem to allocate geographical areas to their dealers so territories don't overlap. But it is well worth shopping around. My wood burner was "re-furbished" from a dealer out of my area that had the boiler replaced. So a virtually new stove at 20% discount.
Same here, but fitness is the snag!I'm 15yrs behind you, but even so between thinning and coppicing I should now be pretty much self-sufficient for as long as I'm fit to cut it.
Good luck trying to find a hetas engineer.Good luck finding a HETAS engineer that will sign off a rear exit flue pipe. They always now seem to insist on a top exit for at least 750mm long straight pipe before a angled turn in the pipe.
Pita for the chimney sweep as well, also prone to corrosion on the rear exit elbowThey seem to worry about the free flow of smoke and gases. Possible build up of these in the top of stove and escape when door of stove is open. Stove won’t draw as well with rear exit pipe.
