    Yes watt hours but the purpose of my post was to show how cheap it is to charge batteries giving real examples using what I have to hand I see in one post you referred to "rounding up" , probably done because the fully charged voltage of an 18 volt battery is 20 volts .

    If its if any interest, I did some tests on battery charge costs last year by plugging chargers into an energy monitor . Parkside 18v 4Ah...80watts , Makita 18v. 5Ah....100watts Waitley 18v. 8Ah....150watts So if we take makita 5Ah. it only costs 1/10th if the kWh unit rate which is around 4 pence. I have I have just ordered a Msa200 with Ap300 battery so when that arrives will update my post

    I thinks you may be struggling with a 5kw stove, I have one of the larger 5kw stove which will take a 395mm log and even my 8kw clearview will just take a 420mm long one. If you have your stove on an outside wall or have floorboards with space underneath I would consider a larger output stove with a direct air supply.

    Is your flue 5” to be looking for a 5kw stove?
  5. slim reaper
    The main difference between varying stove outputs is the size of the stove and the amount of fuel you can get on it so if you want more heat you have to go bigger. You may see small stoves with larger outputs but it's all smoke and mirrors . A fire opening should be built to regs with no flammable material hidden behind cement boards so that if anyone comes along in the future they can fill the available space to the stove manufacturers specs.

    Thanks neiln its a Purevision Pv5W and is only there until I can find another Clearview vision 500 as the former is a bit contemporary for a 17th Century fireplace.

    Fitting a stove with a 5” collar to a 6” flue using a 5” to 6” increasing adaptor is perfectly acceptable and as said leaves ones options open further down the road. I have the same setup on one of my stoves. Increaser adapter (5 - 6 inch) matt black : 6 inch (150mm) Matt Connecting Pipe DIRECTFLUES.CO.UK Increaser adapter (5 - 6 inch) matt black 6 inch (150mm) Matt Connecting Pipe...

    Stovax have an instructional vid on lighting if you haven't seen it

    Dura flue, and get 904 . Its also bidirectional so cant get it the wrong way up

    If you leave sawdust and oil mix in the burner for long enough you may save on matches🤣

    Whats the horizontal distance from the flue to window wall. Your cowl it a terrible style and could cause problems
  13. slim reaper
    Definitely not a villager, but looks very Efel like
  14. slim reaper
    Is that a factory setup, looks more like a mod to hold a broken flue collar on
  15. slim reaper
    What size and type of construction is your existing flue
  16. slim reaper
    Best to seal between joints with fibreglass rope which allows for expansion rather than filling with fire cement which invariably cracks.

    A Euro adaptor goes from 134mm to 150mm

    Something to bear in mind in future when replacing door seals beside diameter , there are different degrees of hardness which dictates how much they compress

    Have you checked the gauge is accurate by taking the oven temperature with something like an ir thermometer which is a handy bit of kit to have anyway. If gauges is accurate there maybe a diverter flap thats stuck or haven't operated yet

    Have a look at the door group of jotul F145

    This with the aid of a match is all I light my stoves with and place larger logs on top
  22. slim reaper
    Seems a strange one by Burley, all they need do is give a temperature range.
  23. slim reaper
    I've got clearview ones on my stoves and when I check with a Fluke IR thermometer they are well out

    I can't remember which cooker it was but years ago one had a round hotplate that could be removed and a wok dropped into the hole, I think they sold the wok as well.

    Plates remain on the stove and cook on top of them
