Overview
The External Air Kit is an essential upgrade for your Lakes, Tinderbox, and FlickrFlame wood stoves. At National Flues, we understand the critical role that efficient combustion and proper ventilation play in ensuring optimum stove performance and home safety. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the benefits of using an external air supply, detail the key features of our kit, and offer practical advice on installation and accessorising your stove. Whether you are looking to improve efficiency or enhance the overall safety of your appliance, this guide offers valuable insights to help you make an informed decision.
Why External Air Supply is Essential
A reliable external air supply can make all the difference when it comes to the performance of your wood-burning stove. Traditional stoves often rely solely on internal air, which may lead to inefficiencies, increased smoke production, and even potential safety hazards. By integrating an external air supply with your stove, you can ensure a continuous and controlled flow of fresh air, leading to a cleaner and more efficient burn. This results in enhanced heat output, better fuel efficiency, and a significant reduction in the emissions associated with poor burning conditions. Ultimately, the addition of an external air supply contributes to a more balanced and safer heating system.
• Improved Combustion Efficiency: Directing fresh, external air to your stove helps achieve a more complete combustion of fuel, maximising energy output while reducing waste.
• Enhanced Safety Measures: With better airflow, the risks associated with backdrafts and harmful emissions are significantly diminished, ensuring a safer environment for you and your loved ones.
• Consistent Temperature Control: A steady supply of external air helps maintain a consistent burn rate, which is particularly beneficial during colder months.
Features and Benefits
The External Air Kit is engineered with both functionality and aesthetics in mind. Each component is carefully selected to deliver robust performance while adding to the visual appeal of your stove setup. Here are the key features and their benefits:
- Stove Outside Air Adapter Plate: This component is designed to fit seamlessly onto your stove, ensuring that the external air supply is directed precisely where it is needed, thereby maintaining an uninterrupted flow.
- 150mm x 150mm Terracotta Louvre Grille: Not only does this grille promote efficient ventilation, but its terracotta finish also adds a touch of elegance to your appliance, blending effortlessly with various decors.
- Backplate with 97mm Spigot: Acting as the backbone of the kit, the backplate ensures a stable mounting platform for the aluminium hose and other components, enhancing both performance and safety.
- 102mm x 1500mm Aluminium Hose: Durable and efficient, this hose channels the external air effectively to your stove, ensuring that the combustion process is consistently optimised.
- Jubilee Clips: These clips play a crucial role in securing all components, ensuring that nothing becomes loose over time, even in the face of challenging weather conditions.
How to Install Your External Air Kit
Installation of the External Air Kit is straightforward, even for those with moderate DIY experience. However, due to the importance of safety and precise installation, professional assistance is recommended if you are unsure about any step of the process. The basic installation steps include:
1. Ensure that your stove is completely cool and powered off.
2. Attach the Stove Outside Air Adapter Plate to the appropriate section of your stove.
3. Secure the Terracotta Louvre Grille onto the adapter plate to promote effective airflow.
4. Connect the Backplate equipped with a 97mm Spigot and then attach the aluminium hose.
5. Firmly secure all components with the two provided Jubilee Clips.
Following these steps carefully will ensure that your stove benefits from optimal air circulation, thereby enhancing performance and safety.

While the External Air Kit significantly improves stove performance, there is a range of additional accessories available to further enhance your system. For instance, heat-resistant seals, decorative chimney trims, and additional flue components can all contribute to a more efficient and attractive setup. Investing in these accessories not only improves the functionality of your wood stove but also ensures that every component works harmoniously together.
