Can I swap some chip for some beer too

Manchester...???

Just imagine its a fillet of beef and treat it the same. And then enjoy it more...

I swapped Allen key bolts for torx/star bolts and think they were much better. But do be patient and clean the heads really well before trying to undo. They are a real bugger if they get chewed before becoming loose. And I as far as I remember it was only a few seconds to undo the springs and lift the motor to stick a piece of wood in there. You can have a quick look round and clean too. You'll soon get used to it.

And it would be best kept in a bank vault with a price tag of around 100 grand+!!

Mmm... Deep pockets.... thats what I was afraid of:blushing:

Who's going to be the first to point it at a plane or somebody else who will winge.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I've had a bit of a google but not had a chances to ring any of the companies up to ask directly. It looks like I will only be able to go about two thirds of what I had hoped.

Does anybody know how big you can get a polytunnel. I mean the span across (between the semi circle) not the length without any support poles in between. I'm aiming for about 12-13m if that's possible. Cheers

Sorry. Bit dim I know. It looks just like the original clamp. I already had the red bit that clamps round the outside of the two parts of chute/chipper. Just needed the bolt welding to the bent piece of metal on the inside. I'll get a pic if you really want.

Yep. Just like that but with a hole drilled through for a leash to tie on.

I have to say a big thanks to Andy (treequip) for sorting this out for me. Basically got the original design back on now. It works as well as I remember the old one to but I will try the copper grease because it does still need to be really cranked up tight to stop wobble and the chute wandering round in circles. The mole grips were nearly fool proof though and very quick to change chute direction and removing chute.

Wings not needed in my case. Just a brain would suffice.

In your case Dean, wouldn't you be better with a pair of wings. Sorry...I'll get me coat:blushing:

Can these have a drill attachment on them to spin it as you add pieces and extend further up the pipe. I thought about getting some but I seem to remember them being a lot more than these you have.

Thats cool. I didnt mean to sound tight but just wondered if it was worth even bothering with if the grips work well anyway. I just hate the thought of spending good money on a crap new replacement which might end up getting replaced with mole grips again!! Anyway, I'll take you up on the merlot deal cheers. When and where? Thanks Edit: I meant a crap new replacement part from Jensen, not what you were Offering!!

Thanks for the offer. I just wondered how much money are we talking about though. It was just something I was gonna try and fix whilst it was raining yesterday and the mole grips do work pretty well after all. But the original clamp is a bit more fail safe for when driving along. Where abouts are you? Cheers

I wondered if anyone could help. I know I can ring redwood to buy new parts but I think I can fix the bit I've got with a little help. The clamp which holds the chute tight has always been the only thing I dislike about the chipper. It has always been a bit rubbish at holding the chute in place unless you break your fingers getting it so tight to hold properly. And then one day it broke the bolt. We coped ok by using the mole grips from tool box and clamping tight. It worked a treat and have now drilled a hole in mole grips and tied on a leash to keep it safe. I suppose this might be the answer. Don't bother fixing the original clamp cos this works ok and is very quick on/off. However, I have got the old bits and thought I just needed to replace the bolt. I can't find a picture online of the part so not sure if I'm going to get it right. Anybody able to take a picture of the inside of the chute side if the clamp please. Or am I just wasting my time and just keep using the mole grips. They do work after all. Sorry for rambling but hope it makes sense. Cheers

Nice pizza oven wood.

Haven't stihl reduced weight (a bit) by making the plastic thinner and therefore making the handle more flexible. I mentioned this on another thread about the 201 a while ago. It doesn't have the nice 'click' that the 200 had. The on off switch is the same on mine too. Not a definite click off, you have to sort of hold it down till it cuts off. As said before though, a good clean out with the airline probably helps.

I never bother to raise the grate. I suppose I should try really. If I want it warmer on the hot plate I just open the air up but I do normally just open the air up before cooking to get it hot and then close when finished cooking. I suppose it's really for when you don't want the oven to be too much warmer but still need to cook on hot plate.

Totally wood. I did try some smokeless coal, taybrite I think. It's good to keep it in overnight but needed to put about half a bag on. (12ish kg). It gets a bit expensive compared to virtually free wood. Now I'm just on wood. It sometimes has a few embers in the morning. Enough to stick a bit of kindling on to get going again. I load it up to the brim at about 10pm and usually start again at 7am. Sometimes it's out but still very warm and it's not much time or hassle to fire it up again. I go through a heaped wheel barrow each day if it's on all day. But now the weather is a bit warmer I generally don't need to fire it up until back from work.

Anyone would think you two were trying a few innuendos there.

We had a wamsler 1100 fitted in November '11. Hooked up to a 750 litre thermal store which also has oil boiler hooked up too. It takes a little playing about with and getting used to but basically I turned the oil boiler off in December and it's been fine since. Still to get through our first summer though so I don't know how warm it will be in the kitchen but so far it seems ok on what warm days we have had. It does take some getting used to though. I had to learn how to use the cooker in a different way to an electric oven obviously. But we do still have the electric if necessary - like if the wife can't be bothered to faff with the fire. Overall though, I'm very pleased with it. As you say, they are a bit tinny compared to a Rayburn or esse but it works very well. I sold all of my seasoned firewood in September last year so all I had was Ash from every chance I got and it's been fine. Although an extra sweep of the chimney every now and then would obviously be good.

Don't bother cutting your own out. Just find a dumb mug (mule) to do it for you and bring the cash home for you. You can chill and put your feet up.
