Villager Log Burner

[Nick Watkins]

Would have if there was supposed to be a rope there, replaced all the rest of the rope around the outside of the doors but there is no rope where the 2 doors meet

 

Where the doors meet (on a lot of stoves) you often get the flat 10MM x 2MM self adhesive rope, maybe it's missing?

We use peat briquettes to keep out stove in over night , failing that just a small shovel of coal and half fill the firebox with timber . as for controlling the air flow this will depend on the stove and the house in which its fitted in , my house has a good draft so this enables me to shut the stove right back !!

Always a bit wary of flue dampers personally. Had several customers with them fitted to cheap stoves and they've got up (thankfully) in the middle of the night to a room full of smoke.

 

Our stove tends to stay in overnight using firewood briquettes without even trying. We never load it up at bed time, or shut the air down - it just gets left at whatever setting it was running at, and nine times out of ten there are still red hot embers in the morning. We sell quite a lot to narrowboat owners who find they can't keep their small stoves in using any other sort of woodfuel, and those who don't want to use coal for green reasons think they're great!

I've got an A Flat which is the same but with a flat top. It's a good stove all in although I don't burn it overnight anymore. I removed the flue damper from mine as it's never needed it. I replaced the bolt to seal the flue.

 

With good dry wood I reckon I could keep it in all night with the vents shut down, at least to the point of having viable embers in the morning. You do also need the rights sort of wood. You are never going to do it with softwood and things like alder and so on will not last long enough. Elm is a good one, as is oak for a long burn.

to keep a wood burner in at night you will need a good depth of ash in the stove,

I never clean mine right out always burn on old ash/embers.

 

I close my air flow down but i dont shut it, the damper stays about 5/10mm open, dont really change this setting when burning.

 

I am running a charwood as bobb mentioned and they are superior burners compaired to a villager.

 

In the morning i have real dry wood/ kindling available often left near to burner over night to make sure its DRY! open up burner remove 50% ash trying to leave the glowing bits, lay kindling on embers and open her up to around 3/4 air supply, within 1-2 mins she will be roaring, close her down load up and job done.

 

One tip make sure you use a metal ash bucket otherwise you can leave a trail of hot ash through the house!!!

HI MATE your right there mate re deep ash charwood is a good stove far better then a cheap stove as you only burn more logs in a cheap stove so you do not save your cash at all our euro heat will stay in for days on end it one of the best stove on the market and will last 30 years plus so in the long run works out cheap all the best jon
