log burning stove advice ?

[Stubby]

The colder the air the more dense it is so the more oxygen it contains so bringing it in on a cold day from out side makes the burn more efficient .

...............is the correct answer.

 

You'd be some fella for jetting a two-stroke!

 

As well as that although our house is now 25yrs old, it's still very air tight so there's no issues with draught when lighting it, getting choked when somebody puts the extractor fan on in the kitchen and forgets to open a window immediately, etc, etc.

 

So it's also very practical.

 

Glad I seen it mentioned elsewhere on here last year or I'd never even have looked in to it.

I managed to fix the air intake into the floor, there's about 200mm clear space below and there are airvents in the foundation walls to allow for ventilation. A lot better than having open vents in the room or drilling through the wall! IMHO.

I know the basics of the internal combustion engine but all my 2 strokes are ported and set up by spud !

Bugger it, thought I'd found a kindred spirit.

 

Oh, and I wasn't talking about chainsaws.

My 350 YPVS made me smile a lot!

 

Get to 11000 RPM and I reckon that's where Buzz Lightyear got his saying from......

I only found the website at the end of last year, so the first one went into my office last October. They are heavily constructed (4 or 5mm steel depending on version) and beautifully made. It's all laser cuts and excellent welds.

 

I have a monster 20kw version with a glass door - it takes 27 inch logs and easily lasts overnight on any wood species. A bargain too.

 

He has been building stoves for 15 years and apparently not had any failures. I just don't see the point in spending thousands on a stove.

 

Thanks. I'll file that one away for next time I need a stove...
