Log burning stove

[Best]

Unless the manufacturer states that the log burner needs any specific flue parts, (and they probably won't) then you can install any flue system suitable for solid fuel, with compatible components, like adapters, brackets, etc. That means there are many flues you can use.
The stainless steel twin wall flue must have an internal stainless steel of a special grade that withstands solid fuel corrosive nature. A stainless steel liner put into an existing chimney must also be for solid fuel & not cheap.
If the log burner is 6" at flue connection, the flue must be that size of diameter the whole length of it and not smaller. Can be wider diameter though, but not ideal sometimes as causes too large volume of flue area & colder flue, worse draft etc.
You normally need ventilation for the log burner, if it is over 5kw. Personally I would recommend always have ventilation & preferably near to the log burner to prevent drafts going across the room

Only needs twin wall where it passes through ceiling and beyond. Single skin pipe will radiate heat back into room and look neater. Ensure wall thickness suitable for stove. Thin walled gas flue not acceptable.

Be careful of to long a run of single wall before twin, especially with vaulted ceilings. The flue gases loose to much temp and can get tar. I'd always spend a bit extra and get chimney working realy well.

I'd always recommend direct air stoves

Good point by Geyser regarding length of single wall. Hope it is read by those HETAS fitters who install flex linings in chimney on external wall and tell householder," No need to insulate".

Yes, they seem so sensible & handy if it's backing onto an outside wall.

A new build or renovation should always have a air supply installed to the stove for direct air
