Tonights wind

[treequip]

I can understand the physics behind oxygen requirements for fire and hence the rush you get when you open the door slightly but I would have thought that with warm air rising through the flue, oxygen couldn't descend to feed it.

Anyhow its bloody windy and I've a feeling tomorrow is going to be busy! Sorry to derail the thread!

 

The reason the stove burns more enthusiastically when it’s windy is because the wind whipping over the cowl causes low pressure in the flue which makes more draw dragging air into the stove.

The oxygen doesn't descend to feed the fire, it is drawn from the room that the fire is in then vents up the flue. It's a one way system.

Only a tiddler ofcourse, but this fell across the road yesterday.

If this had hit a car/pedestrian/cyclist it might not of been the end of the world, but someone swerving away from it could definately have caused something nasty to occur.

 

We got called out to it, but it turned out that it was not even ours (neighbouring LA) & had been moved out of the road, by a passer-by.

I''ve e-mailed them on numerous occasions to get these dead elm regen sorted.

 

Off to voice a stronger worded notice.

Another branch blew of a mac I went to last time we had strong winds. Gonna fell it next week....terminal decline. Its calm and wet here today, but I reckon there will be a couple of calls.
