What about the electric tillting Circular Saw LCS500 Log Warrior £575 on fleabay. Saves running a tractor, adding operating hours and diesel at 2000rpm, I never liked the eagle when I had one. I even wince watching people run a 4l tractor splitting logs, even on tick over it's around 8l an hour. Revs had to be just right to get a decent cut and the cone splitter filled me with utter dread and nightmares. And no real safety stop, think the early ones came with a pull string to bodge onto the PTO lever.

Current cost of a new boiler is around 4k, stainless twin wall flue around another £1000-1500, 1500litre tank and expansion tank around £1800. If we say a ball park of circa 9k installed that wouldn't be a far off guesstimation.

There are plenty that are DEFRA smoke exempt, the initial topic was on a Eco Angus orligano, mine is just the cheap Eco Angus Super. But to be honest I certainly wouldn't want to even remotely consider using it in a built up area.
-
Bigger is better only really applies to woodchip and log boilers, as the fuel is relatively cheap and you want to store every bit of unused heat, log boilers ideally run flat out until it's completely empty. I would have also gone bigger as I have actually maxed 1500 litres to 90c once or twice.

At 18kw it would be fine, 25 does really needs to be 1500. I've 1500l on a 25kw, you can run it full bore for longer without worrying about overheating.

Sending heat from upstairs to downstairs.

I think the only real solution is a back boiler type arrangement to your central heating, you can't cheat the laws of thermodynamics, any sort of fan blowing the air its going to create a larger temperature difference. Unless you can duct the heat from the ceiling where the fireplace is, to the rooms, as cold air still needs to flow back to circulate. Personally, use a back boiler and it would probably cut down your firewood usage considerably as your not trying to overcompensate by forcing the heat throughout the house. -
After a brief google, they seem to fit mostly Vanguard V twins to all the adverts on the used chippers for sale. Could the fuel tank be a "Briggs & Stratton 715516 Vanguard Fuel Tank" ?. However I did find flowfit selling this "Honda 18L Fuel Tank for GX630" - £100 If its plastic could it be this " Big Joe Fuel Tank - 22 Litres with Indicator" - £34.45

The funny comment, was probably aimed at my red cap mushroom post.
-
Well those redcaps certainly sort any ailments. 100% success rate, your problems are however forced upon someone else tho.
-
Well hopefully something gets sorted as the news the other day said uncle Joe was negotiating with Spain to take some of his migrants from Latin America.

There was me thinking smoking cigars must be carbon neutral!
-
Well there are only so many cigars you can light with a burning 50, plus with them all being plastic it's probably a little toxic.
-
Does that include the PPE that wasn't to spec or just a little excess stock ?
-
Whilst after doing some research, I am somewhat sceptical at the £30-75 per hour, I wouldn't expect any Dr to be earning less than 100 an hour especially as a jobbing locum. NHS waste is more at the top than at the bottom, removing useless layers of upper management and return to central style purchasing where they had the power to negotiate and drive down prices.
-
Don't think Stere was necessarily cherry picking, but nasgp says there are around 17,190 locums. So at £800 a day that's £1.3m a day.

Next you'll be telling me all those highly paid CEO types are more than just a figure head!.
-
How about for a complete and utter laugh, deputise the useless solitary green party MP. But, whoever gets the position will be tainted until either the next election or a better choice of leader.
-
Not sure about it being the end, the question people seem to ignore is who would replace him and that's slim pickings. Would it be a disposable temporary replacement or an actual conservative. As the current names read like a suicide note for the conservatives, personally if they are going to take charge and return to Tory values Lord Frost wouldn't be a bad choice

The Muppets throwing rubbish are absolutely everywhere I'm afraid, not just north of the border. Maybe have a new law that if you're caught throwing rubbish larger than a water bottle on camera, the police can pull you over and smash a window of their choice ?.
-
Why would you even need a 2nd or a 3rd rifle ?. Just because Arnold Schwarzenegger fired two at a time doesn't make them more accurate.
-
Wonder if he caught it whilst getting a pizza for Justin Welby.

If it was lowering sea levels instead of rising there would be a in-depth exposé about a poor Aussie fella mowing the grass against all odds with Gretta crying and picking up plastic

If you read that article it's hardly a new discovery, they use Google earth pictures to show it's existence. Must be a slow news day.
-
I've not read the article, but I can only guess most people on arbtalk are well adjusted types 30+ years of age. We've all grown up with 1980s gory films, video games (ok graphics have gotten more real) and turned out well adjusted. The only real change that I can see is the overwhelming reach of social media and 24/7 news. You can't help but also notice the constant mental health excuses wheeled out everywhere, not saying there is not a problem but if the media is to be believed there must be a huge increase compared to historical figures.

Wassailing or it is more reparations?. Could we get those Romans back to sort the wall or are we a bit over the warranty period ?
