I installed mine with calcium silicate board, 25mm thick with a 10mm gap as per the HEATAS recommendation. The board needs coating on one side with PVA and the tiles were stuck on and grouted with high temperature silicone from Vitcas. The top of your flue where it passes through the ceiling needs the timber cutting back and covering with a thin steel plate. It's called a register plate and is available on flea bay for around a tenner.

I'm a beekeeper, that bush is Ivy and there are flowers on it which give a large amount of nectar and pollen, this is the last food the bees, honey or wild gather before the winter. They get very excited about it. No nest, just good food. I've 2 stoves and a range, here in Ireland our rules are probably different to UK but, here we can't have wood in a "combustible" distance from the appliance-stove or flue. Have you looked at "The boat that James built" - installing his wood stove, its fully compliant and he does explain the UK rules and about those who already have stoves installed and those doing work on them. It would be sh*te to have to take the stove out again to pass the safety test. I think there wasn't any insulation between the lower board and the bow thruster, putting insulation there, any old bit to fill the gap would help stop condensation. Fitting the fire correctly is going to be one of the hardest things you do, and you are thinking safety so that a great start. Looking forwards to next video.

Well, the way i look at it, you will need a bend in the pipe/chimney and put the stove a little forward. Also you should inform the need of a valve in the pipe. It will give more economical burning and ingreace? the heat. Just paint the fireboard after cementing the corners or use fireproof caulking. Saves a lot of time. You can always tile later, for insance, after you had a hot shower?? In the Netherlands we insulate behind the stove with stonewoll. ( no glasswoll ) Its very heat resistent and when youre not out bij 2000 degrees celsius, you won't make it anyway. Loved the video again, good luck you two and all my blessings.

You both could make excellent training videos as a side line?, As always Becca explains everything to us which is great. Spiders Yikes!!!! I try and keep away from Bees as well. I liked how you cut up the fire safety wood in the Wickes Car Park, without a care in the world that people were watching. I reckon they were thinking, "Wish we had the guts to do that". Loving the edit and the audio effects which are always so good, and with two helpings of the "Dramatic Music", I'm in heaven! Well done Becca, Chris for getting the stove back in place and then leaving us all on a knife's edge until next week!!!! Take Care. Thank you - Spoolbox

The air gap behind your Fire Board is not a BSS check The BSS checks relating to your solid fuel burner are:- Is it secure and in good condition (not obviously cracked etc...) Are the surrounding structures free of signs of heat damage Is the flue in good condition does the flue exit the boat directly to outside air You will need a CO alarm in the same cabin that the stove resides in. 👍

Can you get thinner fireboard or make the battens thinner? Good luck - I’m sure you’ll find a way to make it safe and look great.

Turns out the fireboard actually has to be thicker, the boat is legal as it is with its original stove set up but now we have started to change it we have to abide by all the guide lines, thanks for your comment 😀

Is this installation illegal now as legislation has changed since your boat was built and now you've discovered it you have to update it? Sounds a good safety modification to do, as I bet that whole corner gets hot when the fire is on!

Lower walls, get rid of the wood, just have the calsium cilicate board (didn't know you could get it in wickes ) and air gap. Upper walls, leave wood as is, use a twin wall flu.

I really don't like the twin wall flue. It costs too much and the roof collars look terrible. It loses too much radiant heat up the chimney. When the internal flue rots through, which it will, the fumes leak into the outer skin which is not sealed and fumes get into the boat!😮
@TheNomadicCrobot

yes I feel we may have needed a calsium board, back to the drawing board...yes we also need an insulted flue too, the wood has started to burn so we a bit worried it will get picked up on the Bss, thanks for you comment dude 😀😀

Hi ya Chris & becca just a suggestion we have a stove called a lilly king it has a back boiler and is double skinned so the outside doesn't get hot also when you come to tile around the stove i would use flexi adhesive because it'll allow for movement 😊xx

@@TheNomadicCrobot we tile for a living we tiled 9 Fireplaces in a old victorian house we used flexi adhesive on all of them. It's a powder you just mix it with water easiest way is to get a small paddle attach it to your drill and mix it in a bucket it goes off in about 3-4 hours xxx

@@TheNomadicCrobot rule of thumb,cant use any plasterboard on a boat,for the fire use non conbustable boards, Aqua Board from tyling shop is good and the sizes you will need at a good price,fiber board is in 8ft x 4ft sheets at around £100 a shot,cut with OLD saw or grinder
