Chimney choices

[pistolpete]

Pondering what to do/use for the chimney of my Pompeii. Thought about using some of my spare bricks but not sure it will fit in with the rest of the build/garden enough. Thought about a vintage chimney but they are all HUGE! Eyed up some clay drainage pipe too but can't get hold of any.

Brother has an old clay patio heater thingy which comes in two halves, bottom half is cracked due to being left out so the top half is going begging. Think that might do but will need a little trimming I bet.

What is everyone else using and where are you sourcing it from?

I used an old chimney pot from a local reclaim yard. It is yellow so it fits in with the brickwork.

Black enamelled woodburner Flue. The solid bit that connects from the burner to the register plate. Comes in many dimensions and second hand bits come up on Ebay regularly.

There is also Twin wall stainless, if your lucky that can be sourced from Ebay too. Being twin wall, it is insulated, so can help with the draw of the oven. I contemplated it, but didn't feel it was in keeping with my style.

First oven I used my wife's best solid ceramic flower pot.....cut the bottom off with an angle grinder and turned it upside down. Last but one build.....went to a scrapyard and found a lenth of double walled insulated S/S chimney.....and cowl. They charged me £8 for the lot.
