fire

My recently fitted Baxi Brazillia F8S wall heater has a thermostat which does not appear to do any thing. It turns fully from 1 to 7 getting tighter towards 1, but no variation on the viewable flame is apparant. Can anybody explain what the thermostat should control please.

Hi anyone, I have a multifuel stove installed. There is a 5 cm gap between the back and the wall behind. I'm wondering if there is some kind of really thin board I could stick to the wall behind to offer it some increased protection form the heat. Obviousy space is quite limited. I have loked...

I'm putting in another wood burner in (this time in the kitchen) and have a question regarding the stove flue pipe. I only have a very shallow depth up the chimney flue (9 1/2") for the stove flue to go into. Structurally, would there be problems if the cast iron flue from the stove was say 2"...

Hello, How do you configure your enforcer with smoke detectors, and particularly the bells? My issue is that false alarms on smoke detectors happen. Should i have the full bells and whistles when it does?

Saw this in a super market the other week and thought it was a bit odd, two "Fire Alarm" manual call points next to a double emergency exit door. Don't think there was a magnetic door lock, but can't be 100% sure. Maybe one of them is for something else or that one is not within the required...
