Hi Paul,

If you have a woodburner with a 4" top flu, you could try aluminium flexi-hose for tumbledryer venting.

You can attach to your tentipee centre pole with a couple of short lengths of chain. A large baked bean can or similar (washed and opened at both ends obviously) can act as a joining piece to connect two flexi-hoses together.

Just be careful to stop the chimeny short of the 'top hat' so that the air can cool enough to not catch fire to your tentipee, but still vents out through the top.

Hope this helps

Does the aluminium stand up to the high heat from flames and exhaust gases? I thought it melted easily.

Phone Anchor Supplies, they had a load of flue sections for puffing billies when i was there a few weeks back. They'd do the job for you and they are lightweight.

Most alu alloys goto 650degs c. It certainly conducts heat/cools well. Hence your PC has alu cooling fins and heat sinks.
