A log burner brings warmth, comfort, and charm to any Australian home. But to ensure it functions safely and efficiently, installing a high-quality flue kit is essential. A flue kit not only channels smoke and gases safely out of your home but also improves the efficiency and longevity of your wood heater or log burner.
At Stainless Flue Australia, we specialise in providing premium log burner flue kits made from durable stainless steel—engineered to meet Australian standards for safety, performance, and longevity. Whether you’re upgrading your existing heating system or installing a new log burner, our stainless steel flue kits offer the perfect combination of strength, style, and safety.
What Is a Log Burner Flue Kit?
A log burner flue kit is a system of pipes designed to vent combustion gases from your log burner to the outside atmosphere. It plays a vital role in maintaining indoor air quality and ensuring the safe operation of your wood heater.
The flue system:
- Draws out smoke and fumes
- Regulates airflow to keep the fire burning efficiently
- Prevents backflow of harmful gases
- Enhances heat output and performance
A well-designed stainless steel flue system ensures that your log burner performs at its best while keeping your home safe from soot, smoke, and condensation buildup.
Why Choose Stainless Steel Flue Kits?
When it comes to durability and performance, stainless steel flue kits are the gold standard. Stainless Flue Australia manufactures flue systems that withstand high temperatures, corrosion, and moisture exposure, ensuring your heating system remains efficient for years to come.
1. Corrosion Resistance
Stainless steel is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for Australia’s diverse climate—from coastal humidity to alpine cold.
2. High-Temperature Performance
Log burners generate extreme heat. Stainless steel flues are designed to withstand continuous high temperatures without warping or degrading, ensuring safe operation even during prolonged use.
3. Easy Installation
Our flue kits come in modular, easy-to-assemble sections, allowing for quick installation and minimal disruption. Whether you’re a professional installer or a DIY enthusiast, setting up your stainless flue system is simple and straightforward.
4. Long Lifespan
Compared to traditional galvanised steel or single-skin flues, stainless steel flues last significantly longer, reducing maintenance and replacement costs over time.
5. Sleek Modern Design
Beyond functionality, stainless steel adds a modern, polished look that complements both rustic and contemporary interiors.
Types of Log Burner Flue Kits by Stainless Flue Australia
1. Single Wall Flue Kits
Single wall flues are suitable for installations where the flue runs through open indoor spaces. These flues radiate heat back into the room, increasing efficiency while maintaining safety standards.
Ideal for:
- Internal installations
- Compact living areas
- Indoor wood heaters
2. Double Wall Insulated Flue Kits
For installations that pass through walls, ceilings, or roofs, double wall flues are the safest option. These flues feature an insulated inner and outer layer, which prevents excessive heat transfer and protects surrounding materials.
Benefits:
- Enhanced fire safety
- Improved draft and performance
- Reduced condensation buildup
Ideal for:
- Roof or wall penetrations
- Modern and energy-efficient homes
3. Twin Wall Flue Systems
A twin wall flue system offers exceptional insulation and safety for both indoor and outdoor installations. The air gap between the inner and outer walls minimizes heat loss, making it perfect for long flue runs or installations through combustible structures.
Applications:
- Log burners in living rooms
- Outdoor wood heaters or pizza ovens
- Homes with multi-storey flue installations
4. Custom Flue Kits
At Stainless Flue Australia, we understand that every home and installation is unique. That’s why we offer custom flue kits tailored to your specific log burner model, room layout, and roof type.

Components of a Log Burner Flue Kit
A standard stainless flue kit from Stainless Flue Australia typically includes:
- Flue Pipes: Single or double wall stainless steel pipes for venting smoke.

Each component is precision-engineered and easy to assemble, ensuring reliable performance and compliance with Australian safety standards.
Why a Proper Flue System Matters
Installing the right flue kit is crucial not just for efficiency but also for safety and comfort. A poorly designed or low-quality flue can lead to:
- Smoke leakage inside the home
- Reduced heating efficiency
- Excessive creosote buildup
- Fire hazards
- Corrosion or premature failure
By choosing a stainless steel log burner flue kit, you guarantee a safe, efficient, and long-lasting heating setup that enhances both comfort and peace of mind.
