Conygree Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Will have to form the 'logburner' sub section Dave. Mine has been running for weeks like a blast furnace with x2 working cockers making sure it doesn't go out. See you have x2 baskets of wood - saves going out - but where's the empty bottles - your not a 'cat rescuing Monk' having a quite christmas. Only joking have a good one - must get a picture of mine running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSPUK Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Our other two cats used to keep fire topped up but after they went we said we would never have another Pet - pain at end was too much - not only for them but us also - three years on we have recovered and got another but this one needs a lot of training yet They seem to think stoves are just to lie in front of. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricko Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Yep mine is burning nicely, every day since last friday. 12 month old poplar, nicely dried. Although I am getting through the wood at a bit of a rate. But... I treated myself to a bigger chainsaw (Husky 340e 18") So.. When the thaw eventually comes, I'll be stocking up.

Boromir Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Poplar is not so good to burn I hate burning it. Birch is one I like to use a bright flame decent heat and has a nice smell to it. I have a stove in my bedroom but I broke the window in it so its offline atm. So nice as you read a book in bed have a blazing flame roaring and crackling next to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprackles Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 I have a Queenie stove but unfortunately, the front grate has burnt through on one of the bars so a lot of the fuel drops through before being burned. Tried everywhere for a replacement but no luck which is a shame because it really belts the heat out and is very economical at around 5 to 8 kg of coke a day. This is the same as mine. http://www.gypsy-wagons.com/images/products/queeniephoto.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My coal merchant has it...better than that smokeless brazier stuff and once lit, belts out heat and burns for ages. I think these days it also contains a percentage of Petroleum Coke..a refinery by product although I have not a clue where the rest comes from. All I know is its good.
