All local and national regulations must be observed when installing the appliance. If
installed incorrectly serious accidents can be caused.
Building Regulation Document J must be refered to when installing this appliance.
It is the installers responsibility to ensure the manufacturers instructions are complied
with.
A HETAS qualified installation engineer should carry out the installation and issue a
compliance certificate or alternatively your local Building control department needs to
inspect the installation and register the work carried out.
We recommend that you fit a Chilli Billie in any structure to the same standards that
you would in a house. Some structures may not currently be certifiable by HETAS or
building regulations but the risks are the same, if not greater in a small space.
Combustible surfaces are likely to be closer, so it needs careful design consideration in
the planning stage.
We believe that there are additional risks in canvas structures e.g. yurts, teepees and
safari tents. Adverse weather can cause movement of the surface the flue is exiting
through. The flashing must allow for some movement and the stove, enclosure and
each section of flue should be mechanically fixed to each other and the hearth to
prevent smoke spillage under these circumstances.
We recommend that you be guided by the principle of taking all and every reasonable
precaution to protect and preserve safety. This is of particular importance if these
structures are used for holiday/event rental as the users can be unfamiliar with wood
burning stoves and any risks factors that a single, regular user might be sensitive to.

3.3 Smoke control adaptation
To make the Chilli Billie suitable to burn in a smoke control area, there is simple
adaptation. The secondary air control dial need to be removed. Make a note in this
manual if this has been done (in section 6).
