I know it will never light, inner flue only 55 degrees.
..... Was meant to be humour! Oh well.
Reminds me of the flue I came across when replacing an expansion vessel had to break the plaster around the flue only to find the huge void and cavity stuffed with T shirts.

Lagging was acoustic , to stop the heavily clipped pipes resonating when in shower. Lady of the house couldn't wash her junk in peace !

Found this pic from a few years back. Warmfront job, boiler had been turned off due to low inlet working gas pressure. Warmsure had said that pipework was undersized as it was mainly 15mm to a 24Kw isar. I turned up to repipe and found the meter less than 6 foot from the boiler with about 4 ft of 15mm. I could see why the original installer hadn't upgraded it as it disappeared behind the unit and re appeared through the worktop. A repipe would have entailed destroying the unit. I turned back on and tested, pipework was gas tight, 21 working at meter, 8 at boiler (which was surprisingly working). Obviously some sort of blockage and my eye was drawn to a new compression fitting where the new pipework from the meter was connected to the old pipework running through the cupboard.
I took the fitting apart and found

A good illustration of why, if pasting joints, you should take the nut and olive off and paste it on the pipe rather than wiping paste in the joint.
Funny how the original installer had signed the boiler off with an inlet working pressure of 20 mbar. The paste must have got into the joint on it's own. I was also ticked off that the old lady had been left with no heating or hot water when it took me 5 minutes to rectify. It wouldn't have hurt the warmsure engineer to spend 5 minutes looking for a blockage rather than doing the usual TOFO.

Where did all that maggoty looking stuff come from, is it the type of thing you pack boxes with?
I thought it was a new fangled way of protecting the floor, dust sheet replacement if you will.
