We get it when there's not a breath of wind and the flue is cold. The cold air in the chimney sinks and flows out of the stove. A blast of hot gases from loosely scrunched newspapers allowed to flare up over a firelighter is enough to shift that block of cold air from the flue and restore the usual direction of flow.

Everything grows on rain and sunshine in that programme. No inputs required!

Well seasoned beech.

Two years air dried beech, woodwarm stove, well insulated home but here's the biggest factor.... A missus who loves the flames and is catlike in her need for warmth! She's an Ironman racer without an ounce of fat. I think she thinks the logs are free so why not have it lit......... It's going full tilt as we speak. I despair some days. Thermometer is 7m from the stove and reading 24c and I'm working outside in a t shirt.

I use 18m3 loose a year in a well insulated house. 9kw stove. Argyll.

Dark theme is no good either if you want to see the author.

Hit search from menu and then on next page top right there's a subtle magnifying glass to tap.... Then type in search term.

What happened today? Suddenly everyone wants logs and wants them this week.

Time and money. 2tb uploading is measured in days! Even with a decent 10Mbps up it would take three weeks. The cost to store even with Amazon Glacier is £80 a year. I use a Synology NAS (NETWORK area Storage). All PCs back up daily automatically. It also streams my music and movies to me wherever I am in the world. It's a £300 investment with 2 HDDs in it so if one fails the other has a copy. Dave

Have a read. Pretty simple. Make sure you're always reasonable, goes a long way in a court. https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/taking-action/small-claims Dave

Thumbs up to @NJM for putting his tacho on my saw. It was bouncing off the limiter and indeed was running lean. Sorted now. Appreciate all the help folks.

NJM is it you on the estate? The aspen dealer is NJM engineering. You drumming up business?
-
It's not unusual then. I'm seeing the world differently these days. An attempted rip off on the car and my saw is back from a service running too hot. Can you trust no one?
-
Hmm. Sound like my saw went to that expert. Lean = hot. Who's new on the estate? I aint got time to wait on JF.

This is the worse side.

Took missus's 13 plate focus in for a service to Ford dealership. Got a call it's to dangerous to drive. 2 tyres (3mm tread rears), worn discs and pads and new wiper blades. £690. I was furious because the tyres have some life, I was sure brakes OK and wipers as well. Told them to leave as was. Checked brakes this morning, Hardly dangerous!
-
That's the problem with living in the @rse end of no where! You do mail?
-
Definitely needs more investigation. Everytime I hand the saw over to a pro it comes back with another problem.
-
Running the saw today and it does seem to get very hot. Not sure if it's normal and I'm not used to it after its been running rich or its been tuned way up. The cowling and side cover hot to touch.

Competition between firewood sellers in a local area.
ballibeg replied to WHaines's topic in Firewood forum
Local guy visited me for a similar chat last year. The next day I got him on my cameras so I went to visit him with the footage and a police officer. -
I'm no expert but I'd try heat and hit, a puller or a sledge hammer in no particular order!

I've had to do this in the past. [ame] [/ame]

Dragging memory but isn't the disc held to the hub by the wheel studs? Remove hub, put it on its back supported by a couple of wooden blocks and drift the studs out and voila. Lay new disc down on wood back side up, line up with hub and drift studs back through. Get confirmation though in case I'm confusing with another Nissan.
