    yup - good point from Spud - a lot of systems used elsewhere in the world are being plugged into UK houses and UK standard radiators - ie the system as a whole works differently and the biggest problem is the very limited insulation and airtightness requirements in the UK.

    agree with catweasel. From what I have heard the quoted COP's are a tad optimistic and the colder it gets the lower the COP. As with most things, you get what you pay for, but slightly concerned by the 15000 price you mention - seems high, but obviously depends on what is included. A load of people were ripped off with solar systems because of dodgy sales practices and people not doing their homework and suspect there is a lot of the same thing going on with air source heat pumps.

    What, no lunge Paul - or is that on the lunge thread already? Congrats on the zigzag bye the way and to Chris for the generous gift - albeit a well earned one.

    yes looks like most are good for Feb. Hows about making a tentative arrangement for mid feb-ish so everybody can put it in their diaries. good to have a convenient place for grub as well Personally be happy with Martyn's suggested site

    didnt realise I won anything, but I would have found earplugs useful at Bonneville flats :lol: Interesting regarding the sheave at the bridge - a whole host of uses for something like that in the old management systems they had for water and the canals. All explanations lost in the mists of time no doubt, but then again I have been on the cider tonight

    nothing here either, but agree with the rest. Definitely be buying some tickets again next year. Well done to Steve and the sponsors and anybody else helping out in the background, as well as all the members for supporting a worthy cause.

    from what I recall, it burns at a higher temperature to normal wood which begs the question as to whether most stoves will be able to cope with the high temperature??

    Interesting link Alec - like the idea of the ULTRA - Log arch combined with a trolley similar to the Stein arbor trolley which is popular on here. Might be worth looking into me thinks!!!

    Hi Jon - dont know what we are paying off hand, but only need it for cooking as the 8kw stove does hot water and heating in a 3 bed house (soon to be 4 bed when I get some time to finish the extension) Either way its going to be less than £250 Terry

    £6020.00 - well done everybody. Almost 2 days to go, could 7000 be on the cards? Think Steve's going to need a little holiday after this one

    Agreed Muttley, although to be fair I think in Germany they do a bit more than just sweep the chimney, especially as there are a lot of technically involved appliances used which need an annual check. Historically the sweeps were more important due to the number of fires and the lack of reliable fire services which we take for granted these days. It was a case of prevention being better than cure.

    what Rich said Morten - guess you hadn't read the previous posts On the money with your answer BTW Glad to see sanity has returned in the harsh light of day Rich. Was it a full moon last night??
  22. teepeeat
    not relevant to the UK, but in Germany I believe it is a legal requirement to have your flue swept annually by a qualified sweep. If you dont have the cert. your insurance wont pay in event of problems
  23. teepeeat
    Morten, you're on your own here. Stepping in with a common sense answer like that at this stage of the game is open to all sorts of abuse. :lol: Bed time me thinks
  24. teepeeat
    right all you techie types - move away from the petrol fumes before you regret it :lol:
  25. teepeeat
    in my defense Steve, I think it was an accurate comment, but will control myself next time Some companies just get right up my nose. Mind you, following on from this thread I think I should go in and try some of Rich's tactics to wind them up. A lot more constructive perhaps if I have 5 minutes to waste
