Stoves and fires should really be installed or inspected by HETAS approved engineers, even though one did install my little Aga wrongly !!

I agree, totally. However, if your retreat is isolated or you don't want it known about, this is when people start to DIY.
I was concerned over seeing a link to some "stoves" that had been made from old calor gas bottles. Unrated and no CE mark.
Hence the warning post regarding safety as many people don't associate wood fires killing the same as gas fires.
