Detailed Work Carried Out for 5KW MiFire Tinderbox Large Stove

Opening the Fireplace Recess

We began by opening up the original fireplace, carefully removing the existing open fire and grate to expose the original fireplace recess. This was a meticulous process, ensuring no damage to the surrounding structure while preparing the space for the new installation.

Flue Liner Installation

Next, we dropped a Miflue 316 flue liner into the chimney and fitted a new chimney pot. The liner was securely attached to the pot hanging cowl, ensuring a stable and efficient pathway for smoke and gases to exit the property.

Register Plate Installation

To prevent debris from falling and to minimise heat loss through the chimney, we installed a register plate above the recess. This plate is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and safety of the stove.

Connecting the Stove

Using a twist-fit adapter, we attached the flue liner to a vitreous pipe and connected it to the Mifire Tinderbox Large stove. This connection was tested and commissioned to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Challenges and Solutions

Every installation presents unique challenges, and this project was no exception. One significant challenge was the precise alignment of the flue liner with the existing chimney structure. Our team used specialised equipment to ensure an accurate fit, preventing potential issues such as smoke leakage or inefficient burning.

Another challenge was maintaining the integrity of the original fireplace while making it suitable for a modern multifuel stove. We meticulously preserved the aesthetics of the original fireplace recess, blending old-world charm with contemporary functionality.
