Have to burn if I want a shower, few smallish bits of leylandii does enough hot water. 

My shower is 22mm mains pressure with a big shower head, had a long shower and thought I would turn the temp up to use the rest of the water, scalded myself!

Surprising how much hot water off just an armful of logs.

I’m kinda in the same boat. Put a new 280l Cylinder in last year with dual coils. One gravity fed for the kitchen Stove and a back-up for the new oil boiler. Our kitchen stove is on from 07:00 til bedtime so unsure how much logs we need to hear that kinda volume but the radiator the stove also runs is always toasty warm.

June the efffing fifth and we still had to light the Aarrow Stratford last night as there has not been quite enough sun to work the solar tubes which normally heat our Summer hot water. 

 No wonder they changed the scare headline from Global Warming to Climate Change!

Fire relitt as pesky wasps trying to come down the

I gave a bag of green leylandii logs to a friend last week as they have bees in the chimney and wanted to smoke them out. Seemed to work.

 A brilliant sunny warm forenoon yesterday, but turned britterly cold in the afternoon(13 deg, but with a biting Nth wind chill-factor), and upon opening the patio doors at 06:00 this, the longest day morning, me testicles were running for cover from the lazy Nth wind.

Brrrrr.

Yep, suncream and sitting outside past weeks, solar tubes giving blazing hot water. Then a sudden change,  cloud cover, East wind no hot water and the missus struck up the Aarrow stove.  Harmony restored in the house!
