I have a vision in my head of IPS in his artex trophy room on a cold night, with a malt in one hand and the log fire burning with the dog at his side saying ho well and throwing his score card in the fire :lol:

do you mean were in it.....already ?Do any of you live anywhere near the 21st Century?
I live in France Charlie... they are still humming and hawing about the outcome of the revolution in some quarters :lol:Do any of you live anywhere near the 21st Century?
Any way I have to say down here the burning of logs comes second only to burning witches and other nerdowells I have to say the warmth given off by my two burners is really great it is a really comforting warmth... just a bit crap when I have to venture out into the cold to fetch more logs in the pissing rain. Of course I am talking about burning logs at this point ... witches give off a nice heat with a slightly aromatic quality some find not too unpleasant You do need good ear defenders though :lol:

We have a wood burner, and I would not ever have a house without one now. It heats the whole of the downstairs, gives off a wonderful heat and yes the dog loves it, sits so close to it it's a wonder her fur doesn't burn! I would rather have the wood burner on than the central heating, it's a more natural heat and it's lovely to look at too, turn the lights off and you get s lovely glow, makes you feel all homely!!!!
We get quite a few power cuts in the winter so it comes in handy when there's no other form of heating, I've got some heavy duty saucepans which I have used to heat water for tea/coffee and soup on the top too. Every house should have one!

Right Ian so to be in the log burner club proper you will need the following
A decent Stihl chainsaw. I have an 038 which is old but very good and allows cutting logs and any tree I may be given. Chain sharpening kit for it
A merlin for splitting logs
Hydraulic log splitter
A stackable saw horse for log cutting
decent wood shed for stacking and drying.
One tip on driving your log burner NEVER clean your fire out every day. Always maintain a good bed of ashes in the bottom of the stove. I remove some of the ashes from time to time but the stove always has a thick bed of ash in the bottom the stove gives off a better heat and burns better. If you want to move the heat you can get a stove top fan, although because your stove is not in a chimney you may not get the benefit I get from mine which moves more hot air out into the room rather than let it go up the chimney.

Here are my two stoves. I fitted them both myself. Bang for buck the kitchen stove is tops nothing beats coming into the house on a cold day and getting blasted with the warmth from the stove. It is a winner heating and cooking brilliant.

And here I was thinking I was pretty retro with a gas range.
Imagine that
And witches could only be toasted in quarters prolly and that could get just way messy. Do you use the broom for a spit?
