Tried one out on Saturday.

 

Worked a treat...!

 

notes:

6" hardwood log took a bit of time to get going - we only used an inch hole - but once it got here it burnt hard for well ove an hour.

We used nails to support the pan one of which collapsed as the burn chamber got close. pan ended up on the floor but no real probs..."

How dry was the log. I tried one on Saturday too but it was a bit slow getting going due to only a 25mm hole but my log was quite fresh so was a while before it kept itself going.

The chap on YouTube does say HAS to be dry and he uses a 1.25 '' drill bit.
