CEILING PROTECTION
There must be a minimum distance of 1200mm to a
combustible ceiling above the fireplace.
Clearances to Furniture & Soft Furnishings
We recommend the stove be installed 1000mm from
combustible material. Serious consideration should
also be given to positioning of any furniture that
could be adversely affected by heat. The clearances
to combustible materials in front of the stove should
be a minimum of 1000mm. When lighting, a solid
fuel stove will get very hot and therefore adequate
protection must be provided, particularly in situations
where there is a safety risk to children or the infirm.
A suitable safety guard around the stove should be
considered.
CHIMNEY
The stove is a radiant room heater and must be
connected to a chimney of the proper size and
type. The chimney must have a diameter of at
least 6” (150mm). Where the spigot is 5”
(125mm), we recommend using up to 1 meter of
diameter 125mm, then using an increaser to
increase the diameter up to 150mm. It is best to
connect to a chimney of the same size, as con-
nection to a larger size may result in a somewhat
less draught.
Do not connect to a chimney serving another
appliance. Minimum chimney height 15’ (4.5
meters) from floor on which stove is installed. An
existing masonry chimney should be inspected
and if necessary repaired by a competent mason.
The stove must be connected to a chimney with a
minimum continuous draft of .06” wg (15
Pascals). Poor draft conditions will result in poor
performance.
Chimneys for use with solid fuel appliances
should be capable of withstanding a temperature
of 1100
o
C without any structural change which
would impair the stability or performance of the
chimney.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then
the chimney should be swept again, one month
after installation, to clear any soot falls which may
have occurred due to the difference in combus-
tion between the stove and the open fire.
BS EN 15287-1:2007, Design Installation and
Commissioning of Chimneys; Part 1: Chimneys
for non-roomsealed heating appliances should be
used.

Clearances to combustible materials must be
adhered to when installing the stove. See
Table below for required clearances
It is only permitted to store wood logs in the log
store in the Bilberry Barrow model. Paper ,
combutible liquids , gas cylinders or aerosols
should not be stored in the log store.
Logs should not protrude out of the log store to
prevent embers dropping onto the wood logs
should embers fall from the firedoor.
