    I thought he said something about invading Poland ..?
  10. Hot and humid . Rain tonight so they say .
  11. I find the control of the Burley simple . There are only 2 controls , the air slide and the door itself . The door has a "partly open a crack " catch on the handle for initial start up . This heats the flu . After a few mins shut the door completely ,run it up with the air slide fully open until the stove body is at the temp you require ( usually when the stove top fan starts turning ) then slide the air control back to what works best for your draw on your flu . Mine is about a quarter open but it will depend on how good the draw on your flu is Mine will roar if over half way . In the morning scoop out some of the ash to reveal the glowing embers/charcoal . pop on some kindling and away it goes again . On the back of the stove is the vent for the smokeless zone . I have mine open and do all the controlling with the air slide on the front but you can have that rear vent shut . its just a plate and a screw holding it .
  12. The pleasure was all mine .
  13. Cant recommend Spuds work enough . Top engineer . I have several saws ported by Steve and they all run stronger and crisper are totally reliable . Money well spent .
  14. Yes that's it . I usually decant it into a graduated bottle from some other oil that is in the correct graduations to give 50:1 mix as the actual Red Line bottle is in ounces being American . The best oil out there IMHO . Don't keep it in damp conditions as the one down side of it is it can be hygroscopic . Never had it happen myself though .
  15. Try Josh Collins ( Tree Medics ) 078 255 54225
  16. Burley 5 or 8 KW ( nominal ) would fit that bill . I have one .
  17. Don't for get the neck roll just before you fire her up . Very important .
  18. Orange braces ( manufacturer of your choice ) help .
  19. Oh yea and run it on a 16 pin sprocket .
  20. I never got a refund , full or otherwise when you ported all my saws !
  21. Every body says 40:1 unless using their own oils .
