The flue parts in this shepherd’s hut flue kit have been designed to exit straight up through the roof of your shepherd’s hut, which is the most straightforward and affordable way to install our tiny stove in your small space. By having single wall flue inside your shepherd’s hut, you will benefit from the additional heat that is released from the single wall flue as the flue gases exit through your roof.

You will still have enough space to use a small pan or a kettle on the top of your stove, but if you’re looking to get the most out of your stovetop, then you might be interested in incorporating our rear exit kit into the design of your flue system. This option is included in our second shepherd’s hut flue kit.

Our rear exit kit will liberate the entirety of your stovetop so that you can get stuck into some wood-fired cooking! This can be combined with the stainless steel cooktop option for your small stove, which allows you to cook at a range of temperatures on your stovetop. It also helps to prevent any abrasion that can be caused by your pans and it’s removable, which makes it quick and easy to clean.

Do I need an AD cowl?

If your shepherd’s hut is surrounded by trees or other buildings, then there might not be a consistent flow of air across the top of your flue. On stormy days you might experience down draught problems, where the flue draw momentarily stops. This can potentially lead to smoke being blown back into the stove. To eliminate this, the rain cap which is included in this shepherd’s hut flue kit can be swapped for an anti-down draught cowl.
