The 36v rear handle will cut about as much as the average petrol saw will cut on one fill in my experience. That is a good measure of how much of your boot you can/can't fill.

You don't want to which is why I mentioned it. Those packs don't look particularly sealed and if stacked in a damp UK garage you would just have a very big pile of sawdust by next winter.

Same here but a degree colder. Are your forecasts reliable then because if that forecast was for here it would be raining on Monday and nonstop for a fortnight. I'm not confident they can tell us what did happen with any accuracy never mind what will happen.

They also double in size if they get damp and explode all the packaging

What are the edges of a Brades or Elwell like quality wise? Spent many a day splitting logs with an old felling axe as that was all we ever had. A splitting maul was an absolute revelation. Then when I became rich and famous (by that I mean I actually had some money in my pocket for once) I bought a Gransfors Bruk axe. I cut my finger on that and was absolutely amazed that you could even do that with an axe. The edge on that thing is something else. Have I just been used to what would have been the equivalent of a B&Q axe back then and the Brades and Elwell would have been as sharp as a Grunsfors?

2 years ago I'd just lost my Mum to cancer, 1 year ago I was in the lowest depths of 6 weeks continuous chemo and radiotherapy treatment, 6 months ago I lost my cousin to prostate cancer. I sniggered at the joke because that is what it was, a joke. Pretty confident my cousin would have laughed out loud tbh. I've seen a few comments on the internet gloating at the news (elsewhere, not here) and that is a bit sick but that isn't what this was. "Humour is the best medicine" comes to mind.

I have an old friend in Russia. We don't speak much these days but he fairly recently got back in touch over the Ukraine war. Basically he had swallowed absolutely everything that Putin and his propaganda machine had put out. Russia was the innocent party as far as he was concerned and Putin the good guy. I didn't argue with him one bit, all I said was that he was an intelligent guy and he really shouldn't believe everything he was told. I think he must have gone away and thought about it because after some time he got back in touch to say I was probably right. I also say we shouldn't believe all we are told either, the truth is maybe somewhere in the middle. I will also say from what a few Russians have told me their army is mostly conscripts, none want to be there, training is terrible, equipment is terrible, conditions are terrible as in no food, no first aid etc and the one thing going for that army is there are a lot of them. I do think we need to be careful we aren't heading into WW3, a lot of signs are there worldwide that we may be doing just that. Idiots.

I have a box wedge on my log splitter, you wouldn't believe how much kindling I have. Sometimes I can go for 3 days purely burning kindling to heat the house.

Edge Sealing Phenolic Board recommended products? Help needed

That is what I always use and let it soak in. -
Isn't that already banned?

Thought about it. A guy on Youtube said it wasn't a good idea as it affects combustion, I doubt it would. In practice I honestly can't see it making the slightest bit of difference in any situation. Maybe if the air temp was minus double figures but even then only maybe. Utilising the exhaust heat is going to be much more worthwhile than fretting about the intake air.

I think it will be a surprise if it survives at all. There is a lot of pressure to ban woodburners and I think that pressure will increase.

Wires are a bit scruffy as they are fitted to a spare battery, in the process of running a wire to the next room (where the heat goes) and connect to the battery bank in there. That is charged off solar and runs all the other stuff in there such as lights, pc, printers and labelling machines. No fuel filter fitted as the one supplied wasn't sealed so no fuel could get through, will fit one when it arrives. 2m exhaust going through a bulkhead/thru-hull fitting. Designed to go through boat hulls and is double skinned. Goes through the door because I didn't want it through the wall, it is an insulated cavity wall with brick on the outside and didn't want to put a hole in it. 2m exhaust should be cool enough by time it gets to the wooden door. There are lots of doors and I don't use this one. Fittings holding the exhaust were what I had lying around from a previous project involving water pipe. Hole in wall for heating is just a single block wall into the next room, hole in that doesn't matter to me. Heater the other side of wall from where I would normally be working to give less intrusive noise although with the radio on it's not an issue anyway. Would be different if it was where I wanted to sleep. Put fitting into top of tank asI reckoned less likely to get leaks than a failing connector in the bottom. It works fine.
