    I,m going to be real careful with it, B&Q man said it was really powerful, when I asked him about husky he didn't know that make, so If he,s never heard of it, I reckon it must be rubbish.

    Just got this beauty, was going to go for a husqvarna but they were too dear, and didn't look the part, plus I liked the look of the fuel cap on this one.

    I wouldn't wish that on anyone I haven't read through the whole thread but I think as bob says, new plastic pipes have a metallic strip running through them, but I do believe you have to connect a signal generator to them to detect them with a cat

    The biggest factor in the Hardwood v softwood argument is the Stove. If you have a stove with the flu opening straight out the top of the fire with no recycling action, use hardwood because the biggest percentage of the btu's it produces will go straight up the chimney. If you have an efficient stove ( mine is a smokeless stove ) you can burn softwood in a very controlled and efficient manner and very few of the btu,s produced are wasted. It is only very recently people are cottoning on to this and stove producers are making ever more efficient stoves that recirculate the smoke ( smoke is un burnt carbons which equals more btu,s ) and keep the heat in the firebox as long as possible for the stove to absorb the energy. Look inside your stove in the firebox, if you can see the hole where the flu enters at the top, you need to take it out in the garden and smash it up for scrap, because that stove is sending £10 notes of your hard earned cash up into the atmosphere and you will be sat there with your little glass of wine unwittingly celebrating that fact Education is the key here fellas and we as suppliers should know these things.

    The public sector is where irresponsible governments get rid of the unemployment figures, they create unneccessary jobs within the public sector to get the figures down. The only problem with that is the private sector have to pay for the public sector, when the public sector becomes too big for the private sector to support then borrowing goes up, until a point when things crash ( recession ) This government is now putting all that right and unfortunately jobs in the public sector are being lost, but private sector business,s are being created, it will take time but we will get there. The only problem is people resent losing their jobs so vote against against this government has a protest and put the previous one back in which caused the problem in the first place and the whole cycle starts again. We are our own worst enemy, we buy cheap imported food and goods and deny our private sector of the trade they need to expand and create jobs and then start moaning about losing our jobs or not being able to find jobs Basically we are thick as pig shite

    <p>I've had to do two messages because the first was too long. </p>

    <p>Timberwolf are very good on the forum, try them and see if you can get the temp reading off them if not and you don't know anyone in your area I can get the reading of Bob who posts on arbtalk, he has a machine, but it may take me a few week as I don't see him that regularly, let us know, regards dean</p>

    <p>Hi Simon, yes they do get quite hot but should not be to a point where you can't touch them. If they are getting so hot you can't touch them it may mean the shimming is out slightly. What I would do is buy one of those laser thermometers, I think even screwfix sell them, they are fairly cheap nowadays and measure the temp after a set time, say ten minutes running from cold. Then either post your findings in the technical help section ( timberwolf have their own section on arbtalk) and ask timberwolf themselves, they may do the same experiment on a new machine for you or find someone local with a newish machine and do the same with theirs. But timberwolf should be able to give you an indication of what the temp should be after a given time of running.</p>

    <p>It sounds to me like the shimming may be a little out if it is getting too hot to touch, if the shimming is out it puts too much sideways force on the bearings and produces heat through friction.</p>

    Haha... You been drinking Jons Cider (-:

    Mine does burn both, only it does it very efficiently, the only difference is hardwood needs the vent opening right up to get the btu's out whereas softwood gives the btu's out with the vent nearly closed therefore less heat goes up the chimney with the airflow

    Something I always do is look for the services out on the pavement and from the house to try and see the line they follow after a close shave once
