Voila. Thanks for proving the my point. I got called a 'raving liberal' by Mr Johnsonmbe above in another post Can you not see that you are simply using names and terms as ridicule without really bothering to understand the point being made. Not really any different to the school play ground:biggrin:
-
He is also quoted selectively, usually, in my experience, by people that have never read his complete works. Selected sound bytes and quotes tend to circle round rather like sound in an echo chamber...

Makes sense. Guess thats why in the link I gave the system moves 350 m3 per hour

Quite common in France, this type of kit can be bought in most of the 'sheds'. Distribution d'air chaud / Magasin de Bricolage Brico Dépôt de CESSON-SEVIGNE

They don't forget anything. Its a strategy.

I thought it was great, a real get up and go attitude... He can't afford anything else so he makes it himself, self reliance at its best. TBH Mr Johnsonmbe, I thought your first thought would of been 'why the heck did he not put ads on that vid given its viewing figs.?'

I had the same problem and took issue with the company and the credit card company. The company lied and claimed I gave my permission and the card company gave me a rollocking via letter telling me not to give my permission in future, when I had done no such thing. Basically its not allowed unless you give permission but companies are doing it left right and centre, by just assuming permission. The card companies know this but do nothing unless you kick up a fuss but they will still blame you:thumbdown: I suspect the only way to avoid it is to make a statement on every written communication with them "I do not give permission...etc.etc."

Don't normally say this because I think it's naff to give the "+1" and thumbs up etc. but on this occasion I will break the rule; First class posts mikeh :thumbup: Billy, did no one tell you capitalism died the day that the public purse bailed out the PRIVATE BANKS??? Until this is sorted everything else is noise, the system has not been fixed and we're all living in a cloud cuckoo land maintained by fiat money printing. But don't let facts stand in the way of personal prejudice, no doubt your grandad walked 50 miles in borrowed boots to vote Conservative...

I use a cheap blow lamp, the type powered by those £1.5 camping gaz canisters, to gently warm the flue from the inside of the woodburner before lighting the kindling to avoid this. It only happens to me once in a while when the wind is blowing from a very specific direction creating a high pressure at the top of the chimney. Its not helped by the chimney being very slightly below the roof apex - hence the high pressure at times.
-
I heard from someone else that their wood burning cookers are not up to scratch, something about too many complex internal airways. The Ironheart is pretty simple, the 'cooker box' just has the flue gasses passed round it, easy to lift off the hob plate and clean round:thumbup1:
-
Nothing really onerous; very difficult to clean top plate following spits and minor spills etc as it bakes on VERY quickly (might be a common issue on all of these types of stoves). It does stay in over night which is great but it leaves a lot of charcoal which means you have to open the air controls in the morning and burn this off before actually adding wood, great for getting the fire going again after a couple of hours burning charcoal but not so good if you want to go straight to a hot flaming fire. The hot plate covers are rarely used as its a heating appliance as well as a cooker, we consider them an aesthetic touch really but they do suit the look Our house does not lend itself to a centrally plumbed heating system. Convection heating works well for us due to the stove location and house layout. Likewise I would buy again.
-
We heat the whole house (convection) and cook all winter with one of those, generally get 20lts boiling water every evening off it for baths using big Spanish kettles. It does have some downsides however but given we got 40% off the purchase price via a french government scheme I have no real complaints.

I thought I was OK at stick welding; found that practice was the biggest issue, the more the better. However about 6 months ago I broke down a large angle iron crate to construct a frame for a pto based log splitter. Never have I produced such horrible welds, not even as a complete beginner. Feeling cheesed off I put the project down and gave it some though and it came to me; the crate originated in China, it was poor quality probably recycled umpteen times, dirt cheap steel. Some times its not always technique. Although I still move everything to the horizontal wherever possible
-
Good job:thumbup1:. Be interested to know the steel grade you used. I do a bit of forging, decorative, small tools etc. and made one using a big old mower blade, unfortunately it flexes too much hence my question.

NO, don't use your dick to phone:001_tongue: Matelot you're showing your age

And record ALL your conversations with ALL of your managers. Should of added that in the UK a diary of all your interactions and conversation, times, dates, who with etc. stands in a court of law. Obviously might not be the same for you there...

Do youwant to sell Ecodecs at craft fairs?

:lol: Thanks for that Steve, thats the best laugh out load I've had for ages -
I don't have an argument. I simply find it amusing that you're getting wound up over an article that was intended to wind you up that you fail to see the bigger picture. The immigrant 'crisis' is one thing but the moment it is referenced against expense then a whole bigger picture should be viewed:001_smile:

Takes your mind off Tax avoidance costs UK economy £69.9 billion a year :lol::lol:

I agree completely. My response was wrt the headlines; "VW's pollute 10-40 times as much as stated" at least thats what I'm seeing. So, why in the headlines now?
-
DPF's are only there to get diesel vehicles through the emission test, this is just an extension of that method, although more devious. Personally I think its been known about for years and has only now made the press because it suits certain vested interests. At worst it's economic warfare, at best it's economic leverage. GM kill a couple of hundred people with a known ignition switch problem and get a 'small' fine. VW pollute, leading to no known 'attributable deaths' but who knows where their fine will end... This issue has been kept on file and used as leverage, just like the child abuse issue. The question is 'why now?'

Great service from Mr Patel's news emporium.

Makes a lot of sense. I forgot about the increased kickback tbh. I will be using the saw at shoulder height or on step ladders so yes would be an issue. Thanks
