What Flue Parts are Included?
The Canal Boat Flue Kit 2 is a 100mm/4″ insulated twin wall system manufactured by Midtherm. Twin wall insulated flue parts need to be positioned at least 50mm/2″ away from combustible materials, which means that the exit hole through the inner combustible head lining needs to be 252mm in diameter. This hole is covered by the trim plate.
We have a very helpful guide on how to install a canal boat stove kit here. But if you do have any questions on the installation setup, our experienced team would be happy to help. Just contact us!
Please note: we no longer offer the appliance connector/adapter in black powder coating when using a fully twin walled kit. It will remain in stainless steel due to the proximity to the stove.
Deck Fitting Kit
The main component of our canal boat flue kits is the deck fitting kit. Designed by our team, it includes three cast iron deck rings (two tapered to suit angled decks), a reversible support flange for easy installation, and a collar for a neat, weatherproof finish. A trim plate is also included for the interior. The support flange can be secured to the twin wall flue pipe with self-tapping screws for added stability.

What’s the difference between a DEFRA approved stove and an Eco Design stove?
Eco Design stoves have to comply with stricter limits on the amount of particulates and gases that get released by the stove. Both The Hobbit Stove and Hobbit SE are Eco Design stoves.
-
What’s the difference between the Hobbit Stove and the Hobbit SE?
Both stoves have exactly the same measurements, and they offer the same features. There are just a few key differences between the two:- The SE stands for Smoke Exempt, and it is the DEFRA exempt model of our stove that can be used to burn wood in Smoke Control Areas here in the UK. You can find out if you live in one of these areas by contacting your local council.
- The SE has a small, constant supply of air going into the firebox of the stove. This is to comply with regulations, and it just means that the SE is slightly harder to shut down overnight, as it will burn the fuel slightly quicker. We do not recommend shutting the stove down for prolonged periods of time, as this will lead to more soot or tarry deposits forming in the flue.
- The SE can be installed into a 5″ or a 6″ chimney liner, whereas the standard stove can only operate with a 6″ liner. This mainly applies to household chimney installations here in the UK. If you reside in an older property which has a narrow chimney, then you may find that you need to purchase the SE model so that you can use a 5″ liner.
-
What are the hearth requirements?
You will need to place your Hobbit on a non-combustible hearth with a minimum of 12mm depth, extending 225mm from the front of the stove and 150mm each side.
-
How much does the stove weigh?
The Hobbit stove and the Hobbit SE both weigh 50kg, or 110lbs.
-
What fuel can I use in a narrowboat stove?
The Hobbit SE is a multi fuel stove, meaning it can burn seasoned wood, smokeless fuels, and approved solid fuels. This flexibility makes it ideal for off grid heating on canal boats.
