Google suggests that you can use a multifuel stove with the doors open though it won't be as efficient and you may risk a chimney burn if you are using smokeless fuel.

What I've read makes me think that a smallest fire of logs would be ok.

I googled 'multifuel stove with door open' and interesting and informative answers from Blood Brothers and the Money Saving Expert forum.

As a engineer, do not use the stove until it is repaired properly! full stop. your risking your life if you do.

CO2 is a silent killer, If it does not kill you it would make you very ill with long term effectS!

DO NOT USE IT

CO2 is toxic in higher concentrations: 1% (10,000 ppm) will make some people feel drowsy.

•If exposed at a level of 2% for several hours, minimal "acidosis" (the acid condition of the blood) may occur (cf. hyperventillation prevention).

•Breathing rate doubles at 3% CO2 and is four times the normal rate at 5% CO2.

•Toxic levels of carbon dioxide: at levels above 5%, concentration CO2 is directly toxic. [At lower levels we may be seeing effects of a reduction in the relative amount of oxygen rather than direct toxicity of CO2.]

•Symptoms of high or prolonged exposure to carbon dioxide include headache, increased heart rate, dizziness, fatigue, rapid breathing, visual and hearing dysfunctions.

•Exposure to higher levels may cause unconsciousness or death within minutes of exposure.

•Concentrations of 7% to 10% cause dizziness, headache, visual and hearing dysfunction, and unconsciousness within a few minutes to an hour.

Meanwhile, I use my multi-fuel stove with the door open quite a bit without any problem at all. Just remember to ensure nothing falls out. Sure, they burn best when using the vents for airflow but running them open for a time is not much different from burning wood (best use seasoned wood rather than green - it clogs up the flu less) or coal on an open fire - and I've been doing both since I was a kid.

If having a gap at the front really bothers you, you can effect a temporary repair with a sheet of steel or galv in place of the glass - not as pretty but it works fine.

We have a open fire and don't think you will have a problem if you are burning logs just leave the damper open a little bit so the fire draws, it will use more fuel, and where you are located it is going to get cold over the next couple of days.

"Handyman said he was supposed to say that, but that privately he'd light a small fire."

A proper handyman would have fitted a metal plate to the hole to allow you to use your only source of heating

Burning solid fuels produces carbon monoxide so it could be a bit risky to your health.

Usually with the door open the flue will draw more effectively which means more heat lost up the chimney, however you may get some spillage of the products of combustion into the room which means you could die of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Stoves don't have a direct exit for the flue gases to make them more efficient, a built in boiler also restricts the flow of gases.

On your last thread about this I posted about replacement ceramic glass from a normal glass supplier, it's not very expensive if the glass is flat and has straight edges.

"whats wrong with your stove ?"

Glass is missing after being broken.

More about carbon monoxide poisoning

The acute effects produced by carbon monoxide in relation to ambient concentration in parts per million are listed below:[14][15]

Concentration Symptoms

35 ppm (0.0035%) Headache and dizziness within six to eight hours of constant exposure

100 ppm (0.01%) Slight headache in two to three hours

200 ppm (0.02%) Slight headache within two to three hours; loss of judgment

400 ppm (0.04%) Frontal headache within one to two hours

800 ppm (0.08%) Dizziness, nausea, and convulsions within 45 min; insensible within 2 hours

1,600 ppm (0.16%) Headache, tachycardia, dizziness, and nausea within 20 min; death in less than 2 hours

3,200 ppm (0.32%) Headache, dizziness and nausea in five to ten minutes. Death within 30 minutes.

6,400 ppm (0.64%) Headache and dizziness in one to two minutes. Convulsions, respiratory arrest, and death in less than 20 minutes.

12,800 ppm (1.28%) Unconsciousness after 2–3 breaths. Death in less than three minutes.

If the glass is oblong measure it and look up sheet metal workers in you area if it's a weird shape make a cardboard template. It should only cost you a couple of pounds to get a bit of metal cut to size/shape.

You shouldn't risk yourself for the sake of a few pounds.

I'm gas safe registered and have some experience with stoves.

If you do light it, get hold of a thin stick and burn one end until it is smoking then hold it near the hole, it should draw the smoke into the stove, if it doesn't you could well be in danger.

I would be extremely wary of using the stove if I were you.

Well - I lit a log, and it was OK fumes-wise. But the fuel retainer bracket proves rather low for glass-less fires, and therefore would require non-stop vigilance what with sparks etc.

Can't do it. That proved a damp squib after all. If I had tiles in the room it would be different, but carpet and rugs... nope.

I wondered about that, too, and came to the conclusion that it must be the depth of the fire. And the throat plate that would be missing in an open fire.

It's the route the smoke/flue gases take through the appliance to reach the chimney, an open fire goes straight up, a stove doesn't. Some stoves have the flue outlet horizontally at the back. This reduces the efficiency of the flue which in turn increases the likely hood of fumes entering the room. The fumes will contain carbon monoxide.

It will 'probably' be ok but the action of even shutting the doors to the room where the stove is can change the efficiency of the chimney.

The majority of stove manufacturers recommend that you do not use the stove with the door open.

ahh, thanks for that.

i know her flue/chimney does actually go straight out the top of the stove, so that would be ok to use if the glass broke, i guess.

very interesting response, thanks for that.

another question, as you seem to know.

i have a gas fire in my lounge, which has been condemned and capped by the fitters when they did the gas check in the summer.

i was wondering, could i use the chimney that goes through the wall and fit a log burner where the gas fire is/would have been (probably not explaining it too well, but i mean the hole going through the wall that used to remove the gases from the gas fire, can i replace the pipe with one for a log burner and use one in its place?)

Some gas fires are fitted to a 'gas flue' as opposed to a chimney, usually when a modern house was built with a gas fire as new. If the gas fire was fitted to an older house then it is likely that it is a chimney suitable for solid fuels.

A chimney should go straight up for 600mm before any bends so shouldn't really go out through a wall and you should never have a horizontal length in a chimney.

You'd need to check the chimney thoroughly before connecting to it. Look up for someone that is hetas registered who will look at advise you properly. If you go into a shop selling stoves most decent places will do a site survey before selling you a stove, they may charge and then knock it off the price if you buy a stove from them and pay them to install it.

You can put external or internal flues up for solid fuel but it must be twin walled and insulated flue pipe. There are rules and regulations that must be follow about how close you put combustible materials, height of the chimney etc. if it has been solid fuel before being used for gas it can generally be used for solid fuel again. Any flue liners and pots on the top of the chimney will need to be removed or changed. Solid fuel operates at a higher temperature than gas so gas stuff is not suitable for solid fuel but solid fuel stuff is suitable for gas stuff

If you have a balanced or fan flued gas fire where the terminal is behind the fire outside at the same height as the fire and not going up a chimney then you cannot fit a stove to that you either need an existing chimney or have one built either internally or externally.

The external twin walled flues look kack...
