Imagine this: you're nestled in the heart of nature, whether in a charming shepherd’s hut or cruising along the canals, surrounded by the serenity of the outdoors. Now, picture your space being as warm, inviting, and comfortable as the cozy living rooms of traditional homes. Sounds perfect, right? This dream can easily become a reality, thanks to the leisure flue, the unsung hero of efficient, safe, and long-lasting heating solutions for small, mobile dwellings like shepherd’s huts and canal boats.

At Colt Cowls, we’re thrilled to introduce this innovative flue system. If you’ve never heard of the leisure flue, prepare to be amazed by how this small but mighty system is when attached to your stove or appliance in transforming the way we heat mobile homes. Whether you're living the off-grid life in a shepherd’s hut or embracing the adventure of a canal boat, the leisure flue offers a perfect solution for your stove for efficient heating in these often-confined spaces.

What is a Leisure Flue?

A leisure flue is a specially designed chimney system that features a twin-wall insulated flue. Ideal for small, mobile spaces like shepherd’s huts and canal boats, working in tandem with the appliance, it keeps your living space warm while maximizing efficiency.

Why Choose a Leisure Flue?

1. Space-Saving – Perfect for small homes, its compact as it doesn’t take up extra room

2. Safety – The twin-wall design ensures that minimum heat escapes, reducing fire risks and ensuring safe use in confined spaces.

3. Durability – Made to withstand harsh weather, it’s ideal for boats and rural areas.

 The Roccheggiani Leisure Flue Range

We’re proud to offer the Roccheggiani leisure flue. Known for high quality and reliability, this system is designed to last as long as the appliance.

The Benefits:

Efficient Combustion: The flue pipe creates a draft that draws air into the burn chamber, providing the necessary oxygen for combustion. This helps remove combustion byproducts, ensuring a cleaner burn and maximizing stove efficiency

Safety: A flue pipe is essential for preventing carbon monoxide poisoning. It ensures that harmful gases, like carbon monoxide, are vented away from the living area

Reduced Condensation: The exhaust gases from the stoves contain moisture that can condense on cold surfaces. A flue pipe provides a path for these gases to escape, reducing condensation and potential damage to the stove or surrounding structures

Versatility: Stoves can be installed with the leisure flue that runs to the outside, allowing fumes to escape without needing a traditional chimney. This makes the system more versatile

Improved Efficiency: Insulated flue pipes help maintain higher temperatures within the flue, which improves the draft and allows smoke to exit more efficiently. This can enhance the overall performance of your stove or fireplace

Energy Savings: By keeping more heat inside your home, insulated flue pipes can reduce energy consumption and lower heating bills

Reduced Creosote Buildup: Insulation helps keep the flue gases warm, which minimizes the condensation of creosote. This reduces the risk of creosote buildup, a common cause of chimney fires

Safety: Insulated flue pipes reduce the risk of accidental burns by keeping the outer surface cooler. This is particularly important in small spaces where the flue might be closer to people or combustible materials

Condensation Prevention: Proper insulation reduces the likelihood of condensation forming inside the flue, which can lead to corrosion and other issues over time.

 • Easy Installation – Perfect for shepherd’s huts, canal boats, and other small dwellings.
