Was afraid that your "honey-do" list might be too long at home, Ed. Glad to see you back on the boat. I'm living vicariously through your videos from here across the pond. Looking forward to more progress this year.
You all prolly dont give a damn but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Brodie Holden i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Thanks, Ed. That was interesting and informative. Though you have often said you are not a professional, your work exceeds jobs I have paid good money for! Hope the new house, and work, are going well. Looking forward to your next vlog.
Very interesting, and looked to be well done.Only bit missing was welding the sections together, which I would have found interesting.. If I was being picky, I would say thea the chimney you placed at the end needed a lick of paint
Will be interesting to see if your internal flue passes a safety test I had to have my single interior flue changed for a double skinned on last boat safety test certificate I have just last week had a renewal safety certificate awarded and I was asked if that flu was a double skin or not so good luck with that one📣
Great vlog..love the aluminium ring ...although I'm sure there is no way that flue could fall down without it....belt and braces approach always best though.
Nice job Ed, this has to be one of the biggest unknowns for any narrowboat DIYer and even the Soliftech illustration contains errors or should I say contradictions but I think you brought out the essential points well.
Hi Ed. My only concern is that the elbow of the flue angles inward and could burn someone if they walk or trip over in that direction. All in all a good job.
Excellent video. If you posted more often, you would have 100K subs after 6 years. I guess I will binge watch all your 78 videos and see where the explanation must surely show up as to what you do when not on the boat. Or, I'll just patiently wait... 😏
Very nice job. One question though, besides the screws themselves, won't there be corrosion between the aluminum collar and flue pipe? The screws probably penetrated the paint and it seems any weak spots in paint seems to be exploited by the natural moist air of the canal.
Yes you are right it it more likely to corrode but it will take years to be a real problem and then i will just make another one. I have had an idea for an improvement already😂
Was the top alu locking ring suggested by some regulation? I would think the flue needs to be able to expand and contract lengthwise with changes in temperature. That's also a reason why flexible sealant is used at the top between flue and roof collar. If the flue expands when heated, the fixed flue bottom would force the top to raise higher creating free gap between the alu ring and roof collar - meaning it doesn't actually support the flue's weight when it is hot, and the stove would take the weight when hot. If the flue ever becomes colder (and so, shorter) than the day the alu ring was fitted, then the alu ring would lift the bottom of the flue slightly out of its cement seal, or at least reduce the effectiveness of that cement seal. These reasons would suggest leaving the flue top free of any locking ring, and leaving the weight of the flue fully supported by the stove. It has to take the full weight when the hot flue expands anyway, so might as well hold the weight all the time when cold too.
Robin Allen Hi and thanks for the comment. The regs say it has to be suspended so that’s what I have done. It’s probably in case of collision damage or some such thing so it is less likely cause a fire. I do not think it is needed personally and many boaters do not do it and still pass the safety inspection. I did it because I thought I should try and conform to the regs as much as I could and avoid any disappointment when the boat is inspected.
Failing to research ahead of time can save time & headaches. One job I was going to use pliers to remove a bolt, but found out too late it was a Metric bolt and I only had American pliers. I should have seen that coming and brought Metric pliers
Hi, how did you get the angles for the dog leg in the flue pipe please, I was watching with great anticipation and then you jumped it!!!! I'm nearly ready to fit my'n but I'll either have to cut the flue or move the roof coller. Thanks, great video.....
Hi and thanks for tne question, i had the use of a workshop near by with a saw which had the ability to cut angles. I cut each end at 15degs to give me a bend of 30 degs. If i didnt have that facility then i would have cut it with an angle grinder but that is messy and time consuming. Welding them together is something that i can do easily so i was not bothered how big tbe gaps were but it can be an issue for some. I tacked it first and then tried the fit before welding.
@@edsworld4550 hi, thanks for the quick reply. Why 15% at each bend? If my fire is fixed and my hole through the roof is fixed, wouldn't the angle change? The welding isn't an issue, I'm a semi skilled welder, but have issues with angles and pipe work!!
It was a 30deg bend so each piece is cut at 15deg and that keeps the joint even. The boat safety regs dont like you having a bend of more than 30deg but most people seem to use 45deg bends. I do want to remake it all though with progressive bends. I think it would look better.
Question,can you let me know,the total length and width of your narrowboat,how much of the hull is submerge under the Water line,does the floor fill colder than the rest of the top cabin,in your candid opinion,is it advisable to lay and Install underfloor heating pipes ,or would the cold water reduce the effectiveness of rising heat,
Hi and thanks for the questions. The boat is 50ft long, 6' 11" wide (outside measurement) and is 1.9 ft under the water line. Yes the bottom of the boat is colder than the rest but only noticable in the depths of winter. Under floor heating would probably sort that out but would be expensive to run and difficult to fit unless you stripped out the whole boat. Good floor insulation is usually the best way to go.
Bias twards functional - heat resistant tiles all the way up -- which leaves the Wood edging(moulding) - a lesson from fire place mantels --Wood mantels would get dried out over long period of time and one day just catch fire ,, i don't see that ever happening with a stove pipe flue -- but maybe some wood oil rub once-in-a-while would be preventative !!
Why not profile the base of the roof fitting by grinding back to scribe properly or make a bespoke one with your access to machine shop etc? Zone of corrosion there likely with what you did. I''d have run the flue parallel to wall to give more space and better aesthetic with appropriate insulation at side. Would have looked tidier. A double skin flue throughout also makes for cool flue and better combustion, less tar and condensation issues and does away with need for insulation adjacent. Stainless flues by mirroring light also look good; the extra cost well worth it. Direct experience vindicates my opinion. My cents worth....
I probably would have installed the stove pipe the other way up (Long section at the bottom. That would mean it wouldn't intrude into you living space so much. Also on the roof flange you could have bevelled the edge with an angle grinder to make it sit flush to the roof. Cheers.
The upper wall slopes inward, placing the flue too close to the wall. The pipe doesnt really intrude anyway. I think he did a great job. Its OK to comment w/o remarking what you feel was done wrong. It only serves to make you feel better and the TH-cam creator...not so much.
My first thought. ;-) At 8:40, Ed remarks about possibly adding heat shielding to the wall so flipping it over was a valid "suggestion" but it's also a mute point, it's been installed days or weeks ago and its going to stay that way. ;-) Oh, G Henrickson, I fell you remarks about my (I won't presume for Michael Murphy) that I had an ulterior motive ("make you feel better") was inappropriate. Subject closed, let's move on.
pol little Hi and thanks for the comment. The collar came with the stove but I think Midland chandeliers should have what you need. If the sizes are not what you want then you may need to have one made. Regards Ed
Next day it was raining? What, rain the UK... unheard of. Shame so many Solar fans in California dont understand that other places have a lot less sun. I asked an Irish guy about BBQ'ing... he said they dont bbq much cause they only have 9 sunny days a year
I have welded a flue for a friend who was making one for his boat but that is it. I don’t generally work on other people’s boats as it can be a right can of worms.
The Soliftech diagram does say the flue should be insulated both outside and inside the boat (double skinned).It does seem a bit OTT for such a short run on a canal boat but that's what I was advised to do to ensure I got a boat safety certificate. Always enjoy your Vlogs.

Great video man. Such a breath of fresh air after a million bad ones. Thanks
The flue support is fantastic, can tell you have engineering in you. Great video thankyou.
Whew, I was worried it might be a case of the manflue but you seemed ok at the end there perched on Ed’s Boat with a nice cuppa tea. Nice one Ed.
Always great to watch a craftsman at work. Thought you did a great job explaining what you were doing.

@Brodie Holden it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D

Thanks for the kind words. Everything is going well and i start the new job in the morning.👍
Good to see you back Ed. Well explained vid. Hope to see more soon.
Hi Ed. Another good video.
All fixed up for the summer months great job buddy.
Will have to pop over to see you been a long while.
Nice to see you back on the boat Edd. It's really coming along now. Looking forward to see how it all turns out this year 😊

@@rwbimbie5854 Even worse for me, being left handed, ordinary pliers are awkward to use.

Ha ha, thats true. Saying that we are having tbe hottest easter for 70 years. Its bound to rain all summer now🤔
they sell stove pipes. wood stove flue more efficient if it goes straight up. just turn stove sideways load from the side., so flue goes straight, .
Hi ed do u do flue work on other boats? 😉

Just how old is that screwdriver?
Hi do you have wattsapp so I can ask you more specific advice about my boat chimney flue? Thank you 🙏🏼
