i've been looking for an oil fired rayburn for a while, to go in our new house cos it broke my heart leaving our old one behind...

anyway, i've been looking for one with a balanced flue, because we're putting it against an external wall, with no chimney. so that seems the obvious thing to do... except, i've seen a lovely one... only problem is, it's got a 'normal' flue.

does anyone know if you can just stick those flues onto an external wall instead of putting them up a chimney? eg, flue comes out of rayburn, vertically, put a 45 degree bend in it so it goes out of the wall... then up the wall externally...

is that possible? my old one went into the chimney so i'm a bit confuzzled. i looked at rayburn website and it seemed to show the flue going through the wall...

or, does ANYONE know of a oil fired rayburn for sale? cheap, working, and capable of doing lots of radiators (pref 480KB or 499KB)

You can put it through the wall but would have to build a chimney around it, or have a double skinned flue to prevent the weather causing deterioration and for safety - they do get hot!

its possible that you have to have a lined and mega insulated flue these days anyway under building regs even if internal, seem to remember reading something, and neighbours woodburner has something like that, pipe gets much bigger cos of the insulation at ceiling height, so externally might not make as much difference. Might need PP tho...? not sure.
 
In middle of doing exactly this with my partners parents cottage they are renovating, the just got the double skinned flue to got out through the wall & up the side of the cottage, no PP needed as far as im aware, though they are out in the sticks so no one is likely to grumble anyway. We bought the flues from http://www.fluesupplies.com/ they were alot cheaper than anywhere else we tried.
