    Hi,
    We have had an Efel stove fitted for a number of years now without any real issues. When we first got it we were burning old wood cut-off from a building site which were very dry,these burned very well and quite hot. However since we switched to ash and Leylandii the stove smokes badly. The wood is dry but doesn't burn as hot as the cut-offs. My question is,what is the maximum length
    the horizontal pipe can be at the back of the stove? We extended the standard pipe that came with the stove and have it joining the chimney flue at a 90 degree angle. the existing flue was also not lined. I have a feeling that the smoke is gathering in this extended piece of pipe. Also can a 90 degree bend be used on these stoves or is 45 degrees the norm
    thanks for the help.
