Post by: philistine on December 05, 2011, 17:18

Has anyone out there had a woodburning stove installed by a Hetas engineer
in a wooden allotment shed in a clean air zone

you don't have to have a hetas engineer to install a burner in the shed, last time I looked.

It is not the same as a home installation, you just need to make sure the stove pipe can't touch wood anywhere, and stand the burner on an inflammable surface, and far enough away form wooden walls of course :D

I would never recommend the installation of a wood burner in the shed on the plot.

My next door but one plot holder has done this, he turns up, ilghts it and we never see him again until its time to go home!

Its just too cozy in there to go out.  :D

Many of the old boys on our site have woodburning stoves. Go d knows what they're made of but they seem to do the job and I'm sure some of the fellas practically live in their shed. They cook on them as well.

Because I am with a community allotment project that caters for adults with special needs
we have to do things by the book, so any help would be most useful

If you cater for adults with needs, then are you sure a stove in a shed is a wise thing to have in the first place  ???

 I'm have a wood burning stove fixed in the potting shed next to the greenhouse when lit its lovely and cosy give it about half an hour to warm up it then heats cast pipes under the staging of the greenhouse  i burn all the old wood on it nails and all

unfortunately its away for repair at the moment i had some new steel plates installed inside the stove  about 2 years ago but they never replaced the inside top that should have been done at that time because with ware and heat its started leaking to make things worse my welder has fractured his arm and is unable to repair the stove for at least a month

i really miss my stove one can do many jobs in the potting shed when its cold or raining outside the stove its self must be around 60 years old but with a little TLC it should last many years
