Shoving a log burner up your arse isn't going to help the environment, Matt.Quote:

nobody moaning about moving this non football thread!!! make of it what you will
Modern domestic wood , log burners
An old fella near me with asthma and breathing difficulties is worried as a young couple over the road are installing a wood burner .
Is this likely to affect him ? I have told him not to worry as its 20 feet high but he's a very nervous old bloke 😬
You’ve got a thermostat on your wireless? Can you still get Popmaster:shrug:Quote:

Christ, I've been sat in shorts all weekend.
Had a week in Spain with the Mrs, got back at 4pm on Friday. House was freezing. The heating went on as soon as we got in. It is off again now.
I love this time of year
I can't sleep during the summer
Morison was asked to turn down the temperature in the dressing room as it was getting heated, he's now out in the cold , not likely to fire up the heat in that dressing room anytime soon.Quote:

Apart from that I always buy kiln dried logs from Home Bargains
£3.99 a bag I think it’s 10 kilo’s
A bag would last two nights
I usually put a couple of clothes airers in front as well to dry so it’s handy for that
I don’t light it every night
like Sludge I much prefer this time of year
Cooler nights 😊👍
You will probably need to pair it again to the receiver unit, I usually have to do do this once a year or when the battery in the thermostat dies.Quote:

Do you know whether it's wired to the mains or battery?Quote:
