Weather conditions
The weather conditions outside the building could have an effect on the burning performance of the
Boru stove.
These could include:
Windy days - smoking from the appliance. This could be caused by turbulent airflow around
chimney terminal, possibly caused by the position of other buildings or obstacles nearby. This
problem is, also, sometimes associated with oversize chimneys, which may even have
downdraught problems on calm days. If smoking is a common problem on windy days make a
note of the wind strength and direction before consulting your appliance installer, who will
advise you on possible solutions to the problem, after visiting the installation.
Damp / Rainy days – These sometimes result in problems when lighting and maintaining the
fire, due to the lower flue temperatures and smaller difference between indoor and outdoor
temperatures reducing the flue draught. Also, rain water running down the inside of the
chimney reducing the flue temperatures. To help with this problem care must be taken to use
good quality kindling wood, when starting the fire, and running the stove at a higher heat
setting than normal for a period after start-up to fully heat the chimney. It could be possible to
fit a rain cowl to the chimney to reduce this problem. Your appliance installer should advise
you on possible solutions. If the Boru stove emits smoke into the room continuously, close the
air controls and allow the stove to go out, and ventilate the room to clear the fumes. Do not
re-light the appliance until the cause of the problem is identified and rectified.
Symptoms of poor performance related to flue draught include:
Excessive fuel consumption (high flue draught)
Poor burning control, overheating (high flue draught)
Wind noise from air controls (high flue draught)
Difficulty getting a fire going and keeping it burning well (low flue draught)
Low heat output (low flue draught) Smoke entering room when doors opened (low flue
draught)The construction, position, size and height of the chimney are all factors that affect
the performance of the flue draught.
Other factors that can affect the flue draught include:
Trees or other buildings nearby causing turbulence
High and gusty winds
Outside temperature
