    Our house has with a 5 inch flue. Wife wants a wood stove and likes one with a 6 inch outlet. We are in Turkey where there are no regs, or if there are no one cares. Would it be dangerous configuration.? It's a nice stove but don't want to kill anyone.
    Help...
    Cheers

    Ask the manufactures - but I suspect that they will say a 6" flue is needed. I would be surprised if you will get anyone to 'give you permission' or take the responsibility for you to use a reduced flue. So much will depend upon the actual characteristics of the chimney and its location/environment. If you want an idea of how a 'built to regulation' chimney can function then have a read of http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=9305&page=1 (Smoke Nuisance – is wood wood?) Short version of a very long saga - a built to base/minimum regulations chimney failing to perform properly.

    IMO you will be on your own with this one!

    Thought about it and decided not to risk it. Thanks for the advice. Always a bit cautious about these thingss a Peter confirmed my suspicions.
