    Thanks again. This was ok for the first couple of times but I'd rather not mess with it myself just in case but accept it may not be terribly difficult. I spoke with the (well known) supplying dealer and I can either send back there or take to a local(ish) dealer. I am off next week so will probably do the latter just for the easiest.

    Hi all, Bought one of these to replace my trusty 135 last October, home use only, and it's barely had any use but it's bogging down in the cut on even relatively small, soft bits of wood. It revs and runs freely with no load, put an Oregon chain on it just to check that and no difference. I can best describe it as it sounds like the brake is on as it slows and stops. I checked the filter and it looks clean but any other ideas for anything I can check. I'll get it looked at under warranty if needed but thought I'd educate myself first. Oh chain adjustment etc seems ok and I don't think I'm doing anything different to what I did with my other saw that behaved itself for the last 8/9 years.... Thanks in advance.....
  4. Oh thought it was easy. The op has a beam in his chimney, I have four rods in mine for strengthening so is his for the same purpose. Just giving a possible answer to the question, sorry.
  5. We have four rods (rather than beams) in our chimney that I assumed were to strengthen the opening as it were. Yours may be different if course. You should be able to make the ends out either side of the arch and then a third and two thirds across the top.
  6. I would probably agree. My stove has done the last 3 winters and is pretty much on every evening and weekend from end Oct into March/April and, as far as I can tell, it needs nothing replacing as yet. It has been swept of course...
  7. I had a Clearview fitted and I think that was about £1200. The stainless flue and gubbins were another £500 and I was charged £500 to fit the lot. However, I opened up the fireplace, got rid of the 100 yrs of crap, chopped out the bottom of the concrete liner, sorted the floor and laid the hearth myself. Call that a couple of days (it took me longer) for two blokes that know what they're doing and I reckon you could maybe add another £1000 so yes my stove was the cheapest bit too ?
  8. Clearview Pioneer in our old farmhouse lounge. Most of these modern looking types, no matter how good, wouldn't fit in well here....
  9. Now if it was Walnut....
  10. If you're going back up the A1 by any chance I'd take the logs... I'm near Newark. Just realised you probably meant to collect in Nottingham, sorry
  11. I'm going to stick my neck out and say if it's not sold already it'll be rotten....
  12. When I bought my pioneer 400 I looked at the ovens just out of interest and thought the flue could be either. Just checked their site and the blurb and diagrams would suggest rear or top is possible.
  13. We have both and have not seen either so far..... Need to get my wood pile covered a bit otherwise it just gets dumped on The other thing that's funny is if I go in the barns while they're nesting they usually just fly out but if the dog goes in they really swoop down at him and give him a right going over
  14. Never had one but any review/report I've seen have been lukewarm at best. Way, way overpriced comes up a lot from what I've seen too.
