we usually light them about 4pm ish and they stay going albeit alot smaller but still warm til about midnight, early on in the night the chairs are well back come 11pm the chairs are close up:thumbup:

 

the smaller ones, we cook on regular in winter , bacon etc and then mash the brew:thumbup:

Any idea if this would work with Poplar?

 

Yes, I've had some good burners from DRY poplar.

made a few cherry ones a few years back, they were great. no pics though

saw a picture of some american guy who made a hickory one (possibly), might have been on another forum but it was massive and burnt for a couple of days apparently, anyone got a link as i cant find it anymore

never heard of these before. How do I make them? get the wood bone dry cut it down 3 or 4 times then stick a firelighter in the top and hey presto? what size is most marketable?

[windfall]

You want to light it from the base so you get the whole length lit. 3ft works well.

Best way I've found to make it easy for the customer to light... Stick a 1" flat bit in a good-sized battery drill and sink a 2" deep hole in the end before you cut the slots. Then all the customer has to do is drop in the firelighter and light...

I thought the point was to light the top so it burnt down?

Thats what I thought ?

[Chris Sheppard]

I've found lighting them at the bottom makes them burn out faster and the sections fall off quicker - lighting from the top usually ends up with the whole length burning and most of the time hangs on to the sections longer too.

 

Liking the drill bit idea

I'm obviously impatient!
