Smoke or Heat Alarms?

Mornin' All,

I am familiar with open fires that burn logs or coal.  I am not so familiar with enclosed "log burners" or enclosed "multi-fuel stoves".


When using these is there a chance of some or fumes being created when using them that could trigger a smoke alarm, especially at the time of first lighting them?


I am about to plan a system for a holiday let cottage that has two log burners in  two separate rooms. We don't want false alarms as the detectors will be interlinked.


Smoke or heat types?

  • a dual wall liner is always specified for enclosed fires

    Perhaps for a new stand-alone flue, but when lining an existing chimney as simple single wall stainless steel liner can be used (at least was for mine, done my a HETAS engineer and as far as I remember was in accordance with the stove manufacturer's instructions).
