  1. Stop using the word oxygen, it's not just oxygen but actual air flow. Yes, opening a windows provides enough air flow to get it burning but that is not a permanent solution as windows can be closed. You need to see if you can fit a room sealed kit for the fireplace, as they cannot be closed even accidentally. I suspect you don't have an installation certificate, as this would also identify the air supply location and sizing.
  2. A cowl will do nothing unless you can get air into the room. Opening a window is an automatic fail for any stove installation because people can close them. Not enough air = Carbon monoxide
  3. Britain still gives mega-rich China £51.7million in foreign aid despite promises to end the handouts | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Figures released by the Foreign Office yesterday revealed that China (President Xi Jinping pictured)...
  4. As per Steven P, it's not just oxygen for the fire to burn it needs to draw sufficient air up and out of the chimney. Opening that window proves your home is too air tight and the vent for the fireplace is probably blocked or is at the very least insufficient. Is it a room sealed vent or are you just taking air from the room, either way do not use it until it's sorted.
  5. I just use cheap E10 from the supermarket with Stihl HP red, know plenty of guys that use E10 aswell. If your happy using Aspen, Stihl or whichever brand, that's upto you but I've not seen any problems but I also only buy 1-2 gallon max and don't leave it sitting around.
  6. Only 50:1, bloody cheapskate.
  7. The mind boggles with the utter stupidity, they know the country still has the death penalty. On the plus side most of them should be atleast sober when the police give them a damn good beating.
  8. Omit the no, it would prove your not getting enough fresh air to the fire. I don't care how big the room or house is, if you open a window and the fire roars. Then the fireplace isn't getting enough air to operate via the room sealed air supply vent.
  9. Is the beige cap to fit in with the oap's or just some weird tartan cap kinda masonic handshake?
  10. No, it would prove your not getting enough fresh air to the fire.
  11. Speed striped and sticking your tongue out works. But on a serious note smaller 12" bar the better it'll probably be.
  12. Can we have a little dishy rishy guy ?.
  13. Nah, the analogy is more being beaten up by the school bully for your dinner money. Then being beaten up again at home time because he wants sweeties, then beats up up to do his homework. No, the EU don't ask you to leave they fine you like Hungary. Unfortunately we never had the balls to say we aren't paying you're petty fines and carry on regardless.
  14. Surely you could find one with Tony, two adverts for leave?.
  15. If you keep posting such FBI most wanted style pictures, it's customary to atleast have a viewers discretion is advised 🙂
  16. Providing he's not ingesting them and leaving presents in the hedge row, that's fine with me. Or worse still the metal poles idea, if anyone did that to mine I would probably knock another 2ft of the hedge just to highlight my dissatisfaction.
  17. Looks like the child has stolen daddies iPad again or his Vtech is malfunctioning.
  18. Kimosabi, are you adding anything or just reposting?
  19. To use your analogy, it might be nice to yearn for that severed foot. But that foot is not only decomposed it's gangrenous, reattaching it would do nothing but kill the patient. Reading yesterday officials want to postpone eu laws bonfire until 2026, that's not exact Brexit done is it. And if memory serves they refused to pretty much negotiate anything until we actually left.
  20. Maybe 2 at a push, probably a couple of hours on the chainsaw and half a day of leisurely splitting. Definitely electric all the way, maybe a saw horse to make things quick and simple. Drying will be the main problem domestically tho. 14kw stove on a bungalow is somewhat overkill unless your hiding a sauna or a swimming pool out the back!.
  21. Erm, literally wtf
  22. Hopefully that'll be the wake up call Londoners need to kick the spoilt ruiner of London out of office.
  23. Looks like I'm going definitely going down the rabbit hole. It was partly the sawdust insulation of the cross section, as the general consensus was wool and wood fibres such as shavings were terrible R value.
  24. Looks like I'm going down a internet rabbit hole later, I understand it's low grade timber formed into panels and highly insulated like a wood version of a cavity wall but in Lego block sections. So what's the difference other than the wood to say a well constructed breeze block and blown cavity ?.
  25. I'll have a read later. I only talk from experience post college, working in schools. The old Victorian & 70s schools were worn out but perfectly functional, all the brand new 2000s steel frame ones were too hot or too cold and either falling apart or leaking like a sieve. Think the construction industry for around 15 years had this addiction to steel frame buildings, but forgot all materials move differently.
