Dont try putting it down the chimney not safe in this weather unless you have a death wish lol
Its best to have the least amount of joins no leaks. One more thing to remember make sure the flue you buy is for solid fuel because you can get a flue which is cheaper but its only for oil fire central heating

Cool :o) Thank you portsbruff!
Do you have to use flexi flue as well as the rigid kind? Does the flexie flu attach to the back of the stove?
We would be unable to get onto the roof of the house at all though, we'd have to use a really tall cherry picker and it is very steep and the slate is very old now. We'd have to go via the fireplace to do an installation of any kind. This is going in on the ground floor and there are 2 double volume rooms above that.
Suggestions?
