If there is it can reach a super dry state over time and then self combust via pyrolysis even if it's not even being scortched in normal use. If you look at pictures of stoves in narrowboats, there is always lots of wood nearby. How close is too close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Evans Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Have a look here: Solid Fuel Technology Institute and here: Boat Safety Scheme Advice Without an effective protection panel at least 800mm gaps. With an effective protection panel at least 80mm plus the tiles (that is 10mm air gap, 25mm calcium silicate board and 45mm air gap) Edited November 19, 2021 by Paul Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no BSS measurement to comply with, just signs of charring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, is that better than the flu wrap I featured, the wood and even the tiles were scarily hot last night, I am still not sure what to do. I put some supermarket foil up for tonight, £2.49 has solved problem pro tem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
