  1. As far as I am aware yes you can .
  2. Both . Its hard graft ( which is good for you ) and good to be out side . I presume you are looking at tree surgery as opposed to forestry . Forestry can be extremely hard work for little reward but is the best environment I think . If you are prepared to drag brash , feed the chipper and look , watch and learn you will eventually either think " sheet , this is not for me " or " I want to do this coz I love it " . Its Marmite really
  3. You got to enter into the spirit of it Steve , then you will enjoy the box set
  4. Rarely enjoy that lol Longest running series ever . The box set would fill the Albert Hall
  5. Nope . Don't think so . The ballistic materiel will wrap around the sprocket just the same as it would any other saw . Probably stop it quicker on an electric as they are " dead stop " any way ....
  6. I will see if I can find who it was later . It was about £60 delivered from France . My stove is one size down from yours so a little smaller . Found them in my bookmarks FireplaceStoveGlass . They do express delivery . Mine came in 2 days . 4mm thick . You have to give them the measurements and what size corner rads you need , if any .
  7. Its to get rid of the sticky resin .
  8. As said . Out side in the wind , rain , sun for 2 years , until it goes significantly lighter in weight . then split for logs or whatever . Burns a treat .
  9. Is there no reverse on them ? Going up backwards would have worked no ? Sill; that's no fun
  10. Runs from the top right hand corner of the picture strait through the more upright crown . looks like a fat phone cable but would not like to bet my life on it
  11. No chance of a tractor and pull it over into the field ?
  12. Bit extra work thats all . saw races a bit as there is not much load on it . just fatten it down in the rides and the forwarder drives over it .
  13. Yea my original glass did that . I thought it was were I had sprayed some glass cleaner on when it was not yet cool enough but perhaps that was not the reason if you have the same . Anyway changed the inner glass recently for one from a company in France and this one is staying clear . My grate bar is still strait and true .
  14. Look at what is on there now . Should be written on the bar if you can't tell by looking at the chain . You might be running 3/8 or you might be running .325 . If you don't want to have to change the drive sprocket and the bar get the same .
  15. Non of mine have worn any thing prematurely . I think its better for them as they run cooler .
  16. Oi oi then Jamie . Welcome bud .
  17. Yep . I do think mine is good . There are 2 weak points I feel however . Not hard to put right in the manufacture . The top baffle plate is made from too thin gauge materiel . After 2 winters mine was bent and buckled and the gauze over the slots had burnt away mostly . I made a new one from 3.5mm stainless and drilled a series of small holes were the gauze would have been . This works fine and does not bend . The other problem is the ledge at the front / top that the top baffle plate sits on . This also is too thin and is distorting at the left hand end ( as you view the stove from the front ) Its were the jets of air direct the flame when its running with the air slide wide open to get the stove up to temp . I only run it like this for a few minutes then close it down to about 2 notches from the left . These 2 things are all that spoil it I feel .
  18. I see you have a Burley as well . What do you think of yours ?
  19. Yea but you cant coz Reg said there will be a law suit so there !
  20. Just as an aside here . Fit good quality stoves in your fire places . They will heat better than an open fire and you will use slightly less logs
  21. I wish I had bought a seesaw the other day . Great fum when little
  22. I would want to get the stack above the apex . Down droughts and all that ...
