Adverse Weather
In a small number of installations, occasional local weather conditions (e.g. wind from a particular direction) may
cause downdraught in the flue and the stove to emit fumes. In these circumstances, the stove should not be used. A
professional flue installer will be able to advise on solutions to this problem (e.g. anti-downdraught cowl).
