Charnwood Bay Installation York

Charnwood Bay installation by Hot Box ® Stoves

A Charnwood Bay stove must be matched to the room, chimney and fireplace. Insert models require particular care around opening dimensions, lining, clearances, closure details and finishing works. Freestanding versions require correct hearth, flue and clearance specification.

A typical Bay installation may include:

• Initial survey or installation review
• Room sizing and model recommendation
• Fireplace opening and hearth assessment
• Chimney and flue route advice
• Flexible flue liner where required
• Vitreous stove pipe connection where applicable
• Register or closure plate
• Cowl, terminal and chimney works where required
• Ventilation or external air consideration where required
• Commissioning, smoke testing and user handover
• HETAS certification where applicable

For homes without a suitable existing chimney, Hot Box can also advise on twin wall flue systems.

Smoke Control • EcoDesign • Fuel

Smoke control and correct fuel

Many areas of York and other UK towns and cities fall within smoke control requirements. If your property is in a smoke control area, the exact Bay model and fuel use should be checked before ordering.

For wood burning, always use dry, seasoned or kiln-dried logs with a moisture content of 20% or below. Wet logs reduce performance, increase smoke and can contribute to deposits within the flue.

Good stove use

• Use Ready to Burn logs
• Do not burn treated timber, painted wood or waste
• Use a moisture meter to check logs
• Keep the stove and throat plate clean
• Have the chimney swept regularly
• Follow the Charnwood user instructions for your exact model

Accessories & Colours

Clean Lighting • No Kindling

Lighting your Charnwood Bay with Hot Box ® Firestarter

A clean-burning stove performs best when it is lit properly with dry fuel and good airflow. Hot Box ® Firestarter is designed to help light wood burning stoves without kindling, making it a useful companion product for Bay owners.

Place the firestarter in the firebox, add suitable dry logs as directed, light the firestarter and keep the air controls open during start-up. Once the fire is established, adjust the controls in line with the Charnwood user instructions.

• No kindling required
• Simple stove lighting
• Works best with dry logs at 20% moisture or below
• Useful for wood burners, fireplaces, fire pits and outdoor cooking

Lighting tip

Do not reduce the air too early. Let the flue warm and the logs establish before turning the stove down for steady operation.
