Bertie,
Not impossible to do although I know that here in OZ there are rules about the distance from the wall, heat resistant / fire proof base and double skinning the flue etc.

   Gov't like rules within rules here.

Nice job.

But I would have run the flue up the inside of the building as far as possible. The flue is where most of the heat comes from.

That is what I thought, there must be  a lot of heat escaping outside .

PekkaNF:
That's why you see on warmer climate kitchen stoves and comfort fireplace chimneys outside. Here pretty much all chimneys are located inside.

But there are some problems with inside chimneys.

1: They need extra space around and more than you think (to prevent inadvert touching/leaning/falling into)
2: There are minimum distances to most of the building materials
3: You need special parts to route the chimney trough ceiling and roof and insulation + membranes might be a problem.

All that means jump in the cost.
