When using the ApplePie in the enclosure:
When using the optional enclosure, ensure the stove is
centrally placed in the enclosure with equal distances to
left and right between stove body and enclosure walls.
Use the enclosure ue-pipe-bracket supplied wherever
possible (NOT used when insulated ue comes all the way
to the stove ue outlet).
This bracket ensures correct distance between the stove
and the rear of the enclosure.
The base of the enclosure at the front needs in any case to
be a minimum of 225mm in front of the stove.
If the enclosure is sitting on a combustible oor surface, a
12mm reproof board such as calcium silicate or cement
board should be cut to shape and placed under the
enclosure - include 4x cut outs for the leg levelling feet.
Without optional enclosure:
The stove should be sat on a solid non-combustible hearth
material of at least 12mm thickness, projecting a minimum
225mm in front of the stove and 150mm either side of the
stove.
When tted in a house or other permanent domestic
dwelling in the UK, consider additional UK Building
Regulations.
When installed on a boat, the optional Ekol--Pie-Boat-
Enclosure system can be used as a complete hearth.
Alternatively refer to BS 8511:2010 Code of practice
for the installation of solid fuel heating and cooking
appliances in small craft.
We recommend that the ApplePie stove is installed
with a minimum ue height of 3metres, measured
from the top of the stove at the ue outlet. It may be
possible to install on slightly shorter ue heights but
weakened ue draught will result. In this case consult
with a chimney expert at the design stage.
Due to the high efciency of modern, clean-burning stoves,
we recommend a ue system be well insulated to avoid
cooling of the ue gases, ue condensation and reduced
draught strength.
Horizontal runs of ue cannot be used. Bends and offsets
should be kept to a minimum with bends being ideally 30°
(150°) and a maximum 45° (135°).
If using a short length of single skin connecting pipe off
the top of the stove, this should convert to the main ue
system as soon as possible.
A method of simple disconnection from the stove should
always be incorporated - this could for example be via an
adjustable / telescopic length of ue.
Flues should always terminate a minimum 1.8 metres
above any combustible roof surface.
Scenario 1) Connecting to an existing Class1
(usually brick/block/masonry) type chimney:
The rst length of pipe from the top of the stove should be
either suitable stainless steel or vitreous enamel rigid pipe,
in 4” (100mm) diameter.
In order to comply with domestic UK Building Regulations,
a minimum 5” ue system should then be used. We do not
recommend using larger ues unless adequate draught
strength can be assured.
This type of chimney should be re-lined with suitable
5” diameter stainless steel liner. Insulating around the
liner with suitable material will ensure a stronger, more
consistent ue draught with reduced condensation.
In this type of installation we recommend a target ue
height of 4.5 metres + above the stove ue outlet.
Scenario 2) Installation without existing chimney
into temporary accommodation such as yurt,
glamping pod, timber cabin etc:
