			<![CDATA[Hi,<br /> I think if you install a chimney Building Control will look to it as operational.  "If looks like a chimney, acts like a chimney, then it will have to operate within the rules and regs for a chimney".  Try checking out part J of the builing regs and discussing it with the British Flue and Chimney Manufacturers Association.<br /><br />Gideon]]>

			<![CDATA[Yes - and we could have a huge discussion about fuels etc - particularly when you are not aware of how I am generating my electricity! No doubt you don't use any fossil fuels in your dwellings!? I was simply interested in chimney/flue arrangements - button it swampy!]]>
