    What size is it?

    This is my thinking, an old roller fed machine could cost far more than it’s purchase price to keep running

    That is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking.

    I didn't think of it that way, they're not too small either, it is a cheap option and I was debating unbolting it from the trailer chassis and mounting it on wheels to push along. But it might end up unbalanced, the one I am looking at would be a lot less than a CS100.

    Thanks, I imagined the diesel offers more torque than the petrol. Quick google and there are some direct replacement engines for around the 1k mark. Loncin for example

    Does anyone know if the diesel 18hp yanmar engine provides any benefit over the briggs and stratton 4 stroke? I have seen a TW 18/100 and for sale with the diesel engine.

    I did think of the idea of surrounding the flue. But our chimney would take 2 6" flue pipes and then vermiculite insulation, but it is an old house with a brick lined chinmey, like I said I know of someone who has done it but not how exactly how he did. He apparently had to close it off because the bedroom got to hot. I did have the idea of somehow surrounding the flue with copper piping to run a central heating system but this would definitely drastically reduce the flue temperature.

    I know of someone who did it years ago, but has anyone else heard of running a pipe alongside the flue with an exterior vent low down, then runs up and into the room above you obviously have to be able to shut it off in the upstairs. The idea being that it convects warm air up into the room above? It isn't always practical and could be a lot of work, but would use some of the wasted heat from the chimney.

    Where abouts is the smoke coming out, any cracks in the flue? Also is there enough ventilation into the room to allow it to draw?
