They are great if you add coal lol.Then you will feel it!

Just make sure you have a sharp axe as those little bags of wood in the garage dont last 5 mins.

I love my woodburner.

Also absolutely great place to get naked and have amazing sex! ( Depending where you put it i guess)..

Ps ive often had off topic chats on here with guys about woodburners . Is it a man thing?

Apparently its a swingers site too..

Well I can swing my axe let me tell you! Good luck with the burner!

Look up the poems "Woodcutter`s Lore" and similar for what wood you should really be burning! Main thing is to make sure your wood is well seasoned and dry. I have to admit I burn almost anything in my stove. The one thing I won`t burn is heavily creosoted wood like railway sleepers as that old creosote is really too much to burn in any stove unless you want a massive chimney fire!

We've got one (pictured with Wife in front of it on our avatar picture).

They are fantastic and give out a lot of heat.

One tip though, make sure you get the chimney swept at least once a year.

We put one in 6 months ago, fantastic. We use coal or wood. Coal lasts longer, but wood looks nicer.

Careful cleaning the glass, we use a nonscratch plastic scourer.

our woodburner is the only form of heating we have on our boat

plus side it gives out loads of heat

negative side is the ash and the dust

Apologies for going slightly off topic. My mantel piece is made from a mahoosive old tree trunk which passes through the chimney breast. Part of this is exposed inside the breast, so obviously I don't use it as an open fire.

Does anyone know if you can get any sort of cover to protect this? And who would you ask for a safety inspection?

Has it ever been covered?

If not you are probably OK - I have had wooden lintels before, but they have been high enough not to smoulder when the fire is lit.

There are ways you have to clad the combustible material with a non combustible materiel such as "aspestolux" board with an air gap between but not really a good way to make it look good I suppose it depends on how far the fire is away from the beam ?

The fireplace aperture is 780mm high, then there is 300mm of brickwork, then the beam, so it would be 1 metre off the hearth. It juts out internally into the chimney breast my 80mm. It doesn't matter what it looked like as it wouldn't be seen.

I read a while back that in the case of a normal open fire just 20% of the heat generated heats the room & 80% is lost up the chimney whereas in the case of a wood/coal burning stove, fitted away from a wall or chimney, 80% of the heat generated heats the room whilst only 20% is lost up the chimney or flu.

Just a useful piece of info, - back to you in the studio!!

Used to have one, it's much better if you can get free wood. Was burning £50 of logs a month when we were buying hardwood by the dumpy bag. Then I bought a chainsaw

Supposed to be multi fuel stoves to burn coal, if I remember correctly coal burns better with the airflow from below so you get a moveable grate with a multi fuel stove. Wood burns better with airflow from above on a bed of ash.

Multi fuels have a moveable grate aka riddling grate so that the ash can drop down into the ash pan and increase the airflow to the coal from underneath.

You can usually do this without having to open the burner by using a lever on the outside.

Coal would burn hotter than wood but as far as I know the basic appliance is the same, I had a stovax Brunel and there were multifuel and wood burning versions. The only difference I aware of was the grate.

Most stoves are multi fuel and a few are wood only,In my opinion anyone looking to purchase should avoid steel ones and go for traditional cast iron models firefox5 and firefox8 are currently great value and always use a liner regardless as it helps your stove perform so much more efficiently

A stove reduces the airflow up the flue, and reduces the supply of air for combustion to the fire, this in turn makes the fuel burn slower and gives a greater amount of time for the heat to transfer to the room before rising up the flue.

Multifuel is good if you don't always have a good supply of wood you can burn other fuels more efficiently.

It would reduce the airflow as you have a register plate which encloses the flue and a metre pipe running through it

In my quest to burn more wood and avoid buying it yesterday I bought a chainsaw from my local car boot

Now I am a man possessed armed with axe and chainsaw looking for fallen trees . Lol.

Just need to find a disussed coal mine and im away

Dual is best.

Free wood gives a great feeling of happiness and extreme heat as you can just keep throwing it on.

Just remember turn it right down once going and the red glow will burn you like youve gone to hell and your fuel will last longer

"Try damp newspaper dipped in the ash. works a treat, then just wipe the glass down."

Was told this by somebody else, it works but caused a scratch on the glass, which is why we only use a damp plastic scourer. It is quicker and easier with the scourer.

Hope you've at least read up a bit on chainsaw use, they can be very dangerous and the safety equipment if you buy it (I didn't) will cost a lot more than the chainsaw... Don't use the end to plunge cut, it can cause it to kickback towards your face. And remember unless you have passed the chainsaw course it is illegal to use it anywhere but your own garden... Quiet deserted woods are going to be okay, unless you have an accident, your local park probably not so good.

Get a chain sharpening kit, it's only two files and gauges/guides but will save you a fortune on new chains and reduce the effort you have to put in to cut stuff. Tension the chain correctly, the chain shouldn't come out of the blade guides when pulled.

Lots of weird forces on fallen trees, think about where it could spring to when you've cut through it.

Apart from that it's great fun.

"In my quest to burn more wood and avoid buying it yesterday I bought a chainsaw from my local car boot

Now I am a man possessed armed with axe and chainsaw looking for fallen trees . Lol.

Just need to find a disussed coal mine and im away

Dual is best.

Free wood gives a great feeling of happiness and extreme heat as you can just keep throwing it on.

Just remember turn it right down once going and the red glow will burn you like youve gone to hell and your fuel will last longer

Hope you've at least read up a bit on chainsaw use, they can be very dangerous and the safety equipment if you buy it (I didn't) will cost a lot more than the chainsaw... Don't use the end to plunge cut, it can cause it to kickback towards your face. And remember unless you have passed the chainsaw course it is illegal to use it anywhere but your own garden... Quiet deserted woods are going to be okay, unless you have an accident, your local park probably not so good.

Get a chain sharpening kit, it's only two files and gauges/guides but will save you a fortune on new chains and reduce the effort you have to put in to cut stuff. Tension the chain correctly, the chain shouldn't come out of the blade guides when pulled.

Lots of weird forces on fallen trees, think about where it could spring to when you've cut through it.

Apart from that it's great fun."

Echo all that on the safety kit! Many years ago I was cutting a piece of hollow wood and "just put the toe of boot inside" to hold the log. I went cold when afterwards I saw the cut across the toe of my steel toe cap wellie! Having said that, even the proper safety kit is no guarantee but I know which I prefer!

I was on a meet with a horny but shy lady. The lights were off in her room.

I was going full pelt. She said fuck me from behind.

I flipped her onto her knees plunged back in horny as hell.

Next thing im virtually knocked out one of those cupboards above the bed. Split my head open.

I think ille be less, at risk withthe chainsaw as I dont use it in the dark. Or naked.

I need a hard hat for fucking I guess.

The cupboard would have burnt well. Totally fucked it too. Ouch!

Im preparing for round 3 with a fallen tree. They burn so well . I feel like a cross between Jack Nicholson and texas chain saw. Watch out woods heres Johnny!
