Wet Logs Banned

[trevskoda]

If you collect wood from woods; if you use wood from your own garden; if you use your imagination you would see how ......

Not a lot of council houses have wooded estates in there back garden,more like old busted matresses and rusty bikes.

Blimey Cal, I didn't know that Mercedes made woodburners.

Aga little Wenlock not Merc. Great wee 5kw stove and only £600 from stoves R Us. Just fitted 2 of them.

Nice I have to make sure I put well seasoned logs on my open fire to keep warm and heat up my water, yet the cretin up the road will be out the back chucking everything apart from his kids on his weekly bonfire like usual, mind you if I rebel for a while the price of house coal is going to plummet soon ewww I could be a rebel and stock up on cheap coal and try my luck until they get the smoke detector men on me roof sniffing me stack Grrrrrrr friggin Nanny state, makes me wanna get in me bus and free wheel to my next destination so as not to put any diesel fumes into the air on the way then light the biggest bonfire the UK has seen when I get there and chuck all the tickets the stack sniffer has issued me for burning a slighlty wet log. Talking of wet and logs I bet one of them came up with this idea.

I've got an open fire. It gets lit at the weekend and is more entertaining than the TV, or so I'm told because it usually sends me to sleep.

erm, make sure you have a good carbon monoxide detector Antiqusam

Your rads in the wrong place,always under a window is the correct place,many homes i go into have them incorrectly placed,just wonder could i use my old parkray as a wood burner,its disconnected and vented so cannot expload.

I had one of those but the constant squealing gave me awful headaches.

I know Trev. Just had it moved there last week. It was under the window but were opening up the window aperture to put in french doors.
You don’t miss a thing do you.

I live in a victorian house. Draughts flow through the house, and by definition the fire draws air into the chimney. They used fire in mines to draw oxygen into the shafts.

Ok...I'll ask the question.
Why is under a window the correct place?

 

[RichardHelen262]

I buy my logs in large quantities so that i know it is at least 2year old before I burn it, as wet logs don’t produce much heat
I also have a few trees on my land that have been blown down in the storms so decided to yum a chain saw to cut my own logs.
But I must be doing something wrong as it is taking me days just to cut one log off a tree, this is the chainsaw I bought maybe someone could explain where I am going wrong

Then you should have put it on back wall opp window to reverse flow air,im always watching you lot.

 

[trevskoda]

Because the hot air rises up the window across ceiling down back wall as it cools,which is the warmest internal wall,you can reverse flow on back wall if using french doors but its not as effective,it also keeps windows dry and stops cold air at the point of entry.
Any other questions when im on my stool.

 

[peter palance]

And many trees will be cut down.

or dose your dog fart,ok,not yors, but dogs and cats in general,dont get catty ok.pj

 

[peter palance]

One thing is for certain.......the price for seasoned logs will go up!

learn summit every day....id always thought it was cos most the heat escaped out the window, puttin the heater by the window means youve got a more or less evenly heated room. puttin the heater oposite the window means youd get a temp drop from the hot back wall to the cold window.

Good reason to stay out in the van Trev, a rolling stone may gather no moss but it passes lots of fallen wood

The question has been asked who will Police it, well consider the options available: set one against another comes to mind, your next door neighbour on there report a smoky chimney app. Is that the country we are destined for?

 

[trevskoda]

Where i live is a smokeless zone from the sixties,many ripped the old parkrays out and fitted oil,then installed a open or log burner which dont use smokeless coal,never policed in my lifetime or never will.
