If you're looking to add a log burner to your home but don't have a chimney, don't worry - it's still possible! Here's everything you need to know about installing a log burner without a chimney in the UK.
The first thing you'll need to do is install a false chimney breast. This is essentially a wooden frame that will support your log burner and create the illusion of a chimney. You can buy false chimney breasts online or from most fireplace retailers. Prices start at around £200 for a basic model.
Once you have your false chimney breast in place, the next step is to install an external air vent. This is essential for ensuring that your log burner has enough airflow and doesn't smoke up your room. External air vents can be bought from most DIY stores and cost around £30-£40.
Finally, you'll need to connect your log burner to an existing flue pipe or have one installed by a qualified engineer. This will ensure that any fumes produced by your log burner are safely vented out of your home. The cost of this will vary depending on the size and type of flue pipe required. Expect to pay around £100-£200 for installation by a qualified engineer.
So there you have it - everything you need to know about installing a log burner without a chimney in the UK! With some careful planning and preparation, it's actually not as difficult (or expensive) as you might think!
