chimney down draft

[arbogrunt]

on the contrary, it was a fresh, cool breeze, not a sulphurous, wall paper peeling emmision that is against the Geneva convention

Must have been a pleasant change for the family. I personally today was getting my own back on Finn

tom that makes so much sense, nice one. It was when it was gusting outside and our livingroom door was shut, that saves me having to get my hands on a cock, nice one.lol

[Saw-sick Steve]

You should be able to get the cock up ok mate, keeping it up all night might be tricky though but you only need to keep it up as long as the fire is burning!!!!!!!!

 

I would offer to give you a hand..........etc etc etc.

 

Easy to keep it up all night providing you've got good hard wood...

 

( I'd fit a woodburner)

mate i have a rotating cowl i'm not using its like new. open to offers if you want. cost £150, put it on, then realised the problem was that the bleedin chimney sweep didnt do a thorough job. swept the chimney properly, then didnt need it any more. its just sat in the shed now...

so far so good mate, tommers theory on opening a door when its windy has worked a treat, it started doing it tonight, opened the door job done. but i will keep it in mind, why dont you put it in the clasifieds:thumbup1:

thats good to hear mate. actually it just made me think about another one i used to do - blow a hairdryer into the vents to get it going! the mrs wasnt a big fan!

 

ha ha big fan! no pun intended! been a long week sorry.

Am I being dense here? When I've got my fire lit - if I opened my living room door I'd have a baltic wind blowing in the room which kinda defeats having a fire lit???? (I'm too tight to have the central heating on when I've got the fire lit in the only room I'm in - sod everyone else!)

 

I've got a cowl on the chimney and have it swept twice a year - that seems to do the trick for me.

I open the van door a little when in in it now from time to time as am in bricks now! but this seems to cause a equal presher in between the warm & cool air so chucks out any back draft probs due to wet/cool log fire & a stumpy flue don't help I am told! not that I have come across that prob though

we only open it a wee bit just to take let the air run through a bit, and when the kids are in bed the door is left open anyway, we will try this just now if it doesnt work i will be calling on clueless:thumbup1:
