How do we do that?

A broken record poster gets a broken record reply. What do we do with this information though? What viable alternative is there? Genuine question here. Voting left, right, left, right is clearly not the solution. I guess we could just keep having the right wingers post up bad press about the left and the left wingers post up bad press about the right? It’s not going to accomplish anything other than build stronger walls in our own echo chamber. And yeh, thinking about how much worse it could have been under the other mob is relevant. We’re clearly no where near outta this shitshow and sooner or later we’re gonna have another election. Since we don’t have hindsight to see how Labour would have played it we can only surmise and for me it puts a shudder up my spine. Can you honestly imagine Corbyne and Abbott making a single rational decision? I certainly can’t. By having such an utterly weak and clueless opposition we’re giving the Tories carte blanche to do as they please knowing no one in their right mind would vote Labour. See, I knew it was all really Labours fault really. 🤣

Oh I know. But it’s the only real reply to a man that’s so blinkered with hatred for one particular party.

I shudder to think how much worse it could have been.

I thought 20% was about bang on considering an average open fire is 15%.

I take that with a pinch of salt. I abuse all my tools and never had an issue with DeWalt in the last 3 years or so. Before that and for a period they where made of chocolate right enough.

Thats amazing! And the owner did not want it back? Did it actually produce Walnuts?

Modern Woodburners with afterburners are extremely efficient. For a 1 ton bag of logs you're getting over 80% of the heat into your room, with an open fire you're getting 15%. Its 85% of the the logs literally up in smoke. There is no point trying to reinvent the wheel here and debating it, thats the facts. An open fire clearly does not blast out the heat like nothing else, thats why its 15% efficient and a modern stove, which literally blasts out the heat like nothing else is over 80% efficient. You clearly have a hard-on for an open fire and dont seem to want a 'crappy woodburner'. Knock yourself out.

Get an open fire then. You've a loooooooot of reading and understanding to get your head around with your current mindset.

An open fire is 15% efficient, a stove is over 80% these days.

No, from 2023 traditional coal will be phased out in England. Quite rightly too! Smokeless coal will continue to be sold. I have no issue with this at all. The attack on Logs is another matter though.

You where talking about 'back in the day' and 1900. You also mention working from dusk til dawn. Now you've switched to modern day. Make your mind up.

Even smokeless?

We where the same. Toilet bowl frozen over through the winter. If you want an open fire knock yourself out. I’ve yet to see a positive for one over a stove. Unless you’ve so much timber you need to get through you’re actually looking forward gobbling it all up needlessly.

We had open fires all through my childhood. I certainly dont remember them keeping the whole house warm. Far from it and there was hell if you left the livingroom door open. The efficiency is so low that you’ll be refuelling far more often for far less heat into the room. You’ll also have a gaping hole in your room letting in the cold constantly.

Need to take the fireplaces back to the builders entrance if that’s possible. Open fires are just crap. Efficiency is incredibly low, spits sparks drafty, no way to control the burn, no stored energy/heat once it goes out. You’re certainly missing something. 🤣

I’d have thought farmers work dawn til dusk. 🤣 Keep in mind in the winter that’s not many hours really.

I do about 1200 hours on average for the company I work for. Maybe add another 400 hours for my own Milling Company.

£160k? Bloody hell! That’s madness. Cheaper buying a Turbine

Looks like someone other than Starmer likes getting on his knees. 🤣

I’d hope so. To not be able to use two appliances at the same time would drive me mad. It simply would not be possible for us. Or at least not worth it for the lifestyle we like. Dishwasher, Tumble dryer, Washing machine on at the same time the time of year. We do need to reduce our consumption though. I’m seriously looking at getting Solar Panels and a battery but fag packet maths still does not really add up.

That just sounds like far more hassle than its even remotely worth.

Thanks for the write-up! Looking forwards to more pictures. I really like the chamfer on the front.

More unelectable than Kneel Stammer? Both would be disastrous but people dont forget that Kneel was against Brexit and he's a white apologist weasel. The demographics of who votes in the UK are fortunately still white and voted for Brexit. Although that will of course change in the years to come.
