Here is mine. Brompi Oxford. Note the cracked wall. Burning Birch, Willow, and I think Dogwood.

These are the Burners I use in the yurts. Top doors an oven and since we've had a flat surface put on top for kettles or pans. They go like a rocket. Made from old gas bottles.

this was in our farm house when we moved in, we paid a lot for the house and the burner came free or the house was cheap and the burner expensive, we eventually want to open the inglenook back out which will be 8ft wide and 5 ft high. but we'll put a proper burner in then, we have a 16kw villager or maybe invest in a clearview. till now we're stuck with this, its innefficient but will kick out heat.

theres also my even more expensive shed heater, but i usually feed it coal. two friends cooking breakfast after nov.5 party.

just spent a few days sat next to this plastic faker:thumbdown:, and an hour or so sat next to this awesome feature stove, not sure if the kettle will fit on top of it though? spotted this massive stove in a store in yosemite national park a couple of years ago, want one:001_cool:

With apologies for pre-empting any future 'show us your pussy' thread.....

 

Fire is a Dovre 760 which takes 50cm logs with about 5cms to spare - output is advertised at a nominal 13kw but who really knows....

 

Sits in the basement and used to heat the whole of a three story open plan house so works pretty hard most all through the winter. Burns mostly dense high altitude beech that's dried for one to two years. Don't have a moisture meter though - Father Christmas has been letting me down there in fact. Had it about four years now when it replaced and old tin sheet box stove - one of those with three rectangular boxes of diminishing sizes sitting on top of each other.

 

I'm not sure I'd get one again though as the various airflows regulated by the handles on the front are channelled through passages between the cast iron rear of the firebox and a sheet metal back cover - both of which expand and move about at different rates and so soon break the integrity of the seal whereupon the air goes pretty much anywhere it pleases....

 

Bit ( well a right royal actually) of a PITA hauling it away from the wall each year to dismantle and reseal.

 

Length of logs it takes is fine but could do with with a tad more depth/height which is restricted by the curved cast iron top plate in the firebox itself for those chunkier logs. All that said it does seem to burn extremely cleanly - minimal ash left at the end of a burn and although we sweep the chimney twice a season there is never get more than half a supermarket plastic bags worth of soot from the eight-ish metre stainless flue.

 

Salut!
