Balanced Flue Gas Fire Question

is that an opening velux window if so that flue terminal looks far too close the usual distance is 2metres away when below velux

It’s not, it’s a fixed unopenable skylight.

So ran it for 3hrs tonight, checked the meter on the hour, every hour, the fire if nothing else is consistent. But the figure has thrown another layer of confusion.

Did the room get really hot? I can't remember what the weather was like. But I'd have thought 7kW for three hours would have been pretty intense.

Drying plaster will make the room feel cooler.

Not massively. It was warm but not as warm compared to if I’d had my CH on in there for 3hrs. (2 x type 22 rads)
