Oak is a slow burner and not the best hardwood to burn on its own. You generally have to mix with softwood or Birch etc and even then not add it til you have a good bed of embers going. Oak is not the king of firewood, far from it. I burn it but it does not get priority. You’ll get a few tall tales here of folk stating they get their oak going with a flint and their bellybutton fluff but I think it’s BS. Norway has a very high percentage of Stove Burners per capita and even in central Oslo where I am tonight I can smell the sweet smell of burning Birch. It’s by far the wood of choice here and they import huge quantities of it. Skip the Oak next time, get a mix of hardwood including Ash, Birch and Beech. But til you’ve burned through what you have your best introducing it later rather than at kindling time. Oh, and save yourself some cash and forget the kiln dried gimmick.

One step closer to Nuke-o-clock.

Damn, he really hit a nerve with that one, huh? 🤣🤣

Odd, you seem to be under the impression others care about yours.

Pathetic response.

Cut benefits to the point that working is the only viable option?

Where are you in Sweden again? Ive a Swedish colleague asking.

Ive got a Broseley evolution 26kw Boiler Stove, a 300 liter Joule Cyclone Thermal Store 2.0, Heat exchanger, Two UPS pumps, Controller and Pressure gauges etc. I bought the used system earlier this year and planned on installing it in the Dining Room as the main Central Heating for the House (16kw to water & 10kw to the room) with the 300 liter Thermal store kicking in in the morning to provide heat til the Stoves are lit but since we've had the original 1880 Sash & Case Windows replaced with new Modern equivalents I dont think we actually need it and will continue with the Kitchen & Living Room Stoves that seem to be doing a good job of heating the house and will use the oil boiler early in the mornings. The Thermal Store can obviously store water for the Central Heating but can also supply domestic hot water at mains pressure. Joule Cyclone Thermal Store 2.0 - Joule JOULEUK.CO.UK The Joule Cyclone Thermal Store 2.0 is the ideal solution for multi-energy applications. The hot water is produced through the freshwater module mounted Broseley Evolution 26 Boiler Woodburning Stove | World Of Iron | Durham WORLDOFIRON.CO.UK I paid £3000 and looking to get this back. Was a £13k install a few years ago and they only pulled it out when the RHI ended and they installed a Heat pump.

Theres loads of different bars of soap in the supermarket shelves though? https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/search?query=soap My weapon of choice is the Wrights Traditional. The cheapest one in the link is the Tescos value at 15p a bar.

My thoughts exactly.

If every ever though Sky New had any integrity check this one out. Briefcase Changes Color from Red to Green on TV, Explained | Snopes.com WWW.SNOPES.COM Sky News explained what happened with the purported "Matrix glitch." The Editor explains it away like its nothing. 😮

Then don’t buy them and support your local firewood seller? 🤷‍♂️

Yes. 🤣 As I do most of the cooking it’s generally with the kitchen windows open and Im in my shorts. My bedroom window is opened as soon as I head up. Its all virtually free firewood and I need the space back. It’s easy to forget how lucky it is these days to not even think about the cost of heating the house, hot water or cooking.

Two stoves greater than 10kw each on from 06:30 til the last person goes to bed almost every day apart from mid summer.

That’s called Insurance Fraud.

You keep saying the Tories have been brought down. They’re still in power and will be for at least two years more. If they lose in two years then you can trot out that tired old line but it reeks of desperation repeating it again and again when it’s simply not true. You’re not 7 anymore so you should realise that no matter how much you say something it does not make it true or happen. You need to grow up Grandpa.

Not livid in the slightest. BJ did what I’d have done in his position and did what I did anyway. Bring BJ back.

Good grief. Stick to the tinfoil.

The likes you and your social status old man. I dont 'held my lip' to many people. I offer those that deserve it a level of decorum. But bottom feeders that suggest I 'held my lip' certainly dont remotely figure on my radar. You have a track record of going after the strawman when you dont like the turn of events Gramps. Its habitual, tiresome and predictable. If you could portray a 7 year old girl pointing for not getting her way in a thesaurus then your post would be a prime candidate.

Of course a lot of people care. They where subjected to mass hysteria on a global scale that prevented them seeing their loved ones and sometimes this was at a loved ones death. What's been clear from the outset is those in a position of power ,if not on a global scale at least here in the West considered the thread of Covid as an inconvenience and insignificant. Something for the little people to worry about. Which in general they do. BJ would have had the worlds best intel. I imagine he thought 'feck it, its BS, I'll tow the line to an extent but I'll have a wee snifter if offered''. In a Political Coup they need something that rouses the public, something that gets them riled up and behind their personal cause. ''Beers when Grannies dying on her own?'' Its the farking golden ticket Steptoe. The likes of you lap it up and end up being a far bigger pawn to the Tories than you've ever been to whatever wankfest you 'protest' about. You want the truth old man? How can I say Im gutted they are done with them they are still in power? Makes no sense. The Tories are in power til January 2025. Thats two more years plus change. Plenty of time to give the idiot masses what they want (even and highly likely to their own detriment) The Polls swing left and right faster then your shit clearing plunger. Give the idiot masses a Brandon boom giveaway and they'll soon be all Tories again. Hanging on you say? We'll see. Only they Tories can call an election this soon and why would they? Whatever party wins I lose. The Tail wags the dog these days. The lower classes are dictating policy via a conduit of inept but power hungry MP's. There is no 'winning' for me. Just lessening and cushioning the 'losing'.

What part of I understand Boris lied about having a beer during Covid are you struggling to comprehend? Or is it I just dont give two FF's about it you have an issue with?

Yes

Covered then dismissed it as the nonsense it is.

No. But it justified it to the masses who where baying for blood. It was purely a political move.
