tj Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 HiHave a small problem with a wood burner, it is rather ancient and there are a few small holes in the fire chamber walls, which this year are obviously somewhat bigger and produce an unacceptable level of fumes into our hallway.Question, is there a product that could be used to fill the holes, an epoxy maybe, that can stand the heat, rather than having to go to the trouble of having it welded?your comments appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Is it cheaper and safer to chuck it and get new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesFlamands Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 If the flue is drawing adequately then holes in the firebox should only cause air leaks into the stove making it less easy to control at a low burn rate. Fumes coming back into the room indicate that the flue is not working properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retread Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 No matter what the state of your flue, the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning/serious fire etc demands that you take the only sensible route and change the poele.
