  1. I strongly suggest you don’t have a career change to advertising J! 😂 NoPedigree
  2. It looks more like dirty water marking to me, it being on the lower edge of the boards and also on those two vents. Is there a liner in the chimney? Would be worth a look around the flue outlet, is the staining coming from water washing off soot from the cowl. When it rains does water drip from the stack down the cladding? NoPedigree

    It is certainly a simple fix on my, albeit a lot older model, pressing the lit button resets the tripped condition.. and Bob’s your uncle. NoPedigree
  4. That will never dry and burns crap according to some on here, I shall come round and dispose of them for you… I’m thoughtful that way, it’s the way I am I’m afraid 😀 NoPedigree
  5. Looking at the top hinge it ain’t going to lift off like a field gate… is there a hole under the top hinge, if so does the top pin have an Allen key head too? Although I suspect the following.. Other thought is is the bottom pin mushroom headed ( flattened and made fatter like a rivet) like spud asked? If so it (the mushroom headed pin) must be able to be pulled out now the grub screw is out. Plenty of WD AND try twisting it using mole grips. if that don’t work or even before trying fit the rope on the door as is. Get the right diameter rope and rope glue and hold it in place with plenty of masking tape for a day or so. good luck NoPedigree
  6. Any photo of the top hinge? I suspect the bolt you refer to is a type of grub screw ( Allen key head?) that locates in a grove on the uptight supporting pin. Removing that (plenty of WD40 over a few days) could allow the door to lift off the pins like a field gate. no experience of this stove and I maybe spouting shite, nowt new there then. NoPedigree
  7. Thought you said you were not going to make a fortune.. NoPedigree
  8. It’s either well seasoned, burnt to ash or rotten 11 years on..🙂 NoPedigree
  9. Hope it works out for you John, after Scotland and Devon you’ve done England, on wards and northwards… NoPedigree
  10. Reading the first paragraph how can ClearView continue sell all their stoves without meeting the new regs, which they are doing. Any installers here who could comment if they can install a CV stove to hetas regs? NoPedigree.
  11. Glad you found a spud u like… sorry. NoPedigree
  12. Wow I’d like to see a 400 meter ceiling height 😂 I’ll get me coat on the way out Nopedigree
  13. Just reading on the local next door site that someone's having to pay 1.29 pl for heating oil with a three week wait for delivery.. bl@@dy hell! still got over half a tank left from 2020 @ .20p pl, so hopefully things will better price wise 2023/24. NoPedigree
  14. I think the golden rule of “green side up” is applicable here. Sorry.... I’ll get me coat on the way out. NoPedigree
  15. Spent a couple of years in Oslo and have fond memories of many a lunch or dinner Chanterelle based. Only ever found a couple in the uk over many years, oh well. NoPedigree
  16. Certainly won’t be worn out but check the axle straightness as it will have had some leaning on....😀
  17. I hate to tell you but ALL that wood is unburnable now, totally useless. As I feel so sorry for you, if you drop them off at my place I will dispose of them safely for you. No need for any payment or thanks for this service, ‘tis just th type of guy I am...😀 NoPedigree
  18. Could someone please advise how old (trunk diameter?) hawthorn needs to be before laying for the first time? The hedge is 7 years old and currently cut at about 6 foot tall. When it’s time to lay should I leave that summers growth, ie no trimming the year it will be layer in the winter? Finally anyone near Ludlow that lays hedges on here? thanks. NoPedigree
  19. Were you selling cod wood when you were a little kipper..... sorry woodham, an in joke.... NoPedigree
  20. More importantly was his head still in it. NoPedigree
  21. So that is the edge above the handle end of the door? If the handle is tight to close I would expect the top edge above it to be a good seal. Have you ever replaced the rope seal, maybe it’s time and then reset the hinges/ handle so the seal just seals without compressing it too much to give scope for ajustements as it beds in over time? NoPedigree
  22. I had a smoke control 500 25 or 30 years ago which had a collar on the slider to stop it being shut down too much but also the baffle plate was hollow with holes in. This added air into the top of the fire box to give a clean burn but there was no way of controlling that air flow, is yours like this or has the design changed over the years. If the same the high flue height may be the issue, the collar on the adjusting slider stick was only held in place with a grub screw, remove it which would allow a reduction in air availability? NoPedigree
  23. You're not kiddin, that's the stick he brought back from his walk.😄
  24. Why would you have to open vents, open the door slowly to clear smoke? There should be no visable smoke in the fire box apart from maybe the 5 minutes after the first match to the stove, is this where the reported indoor pollution comes from? NoPedigree
  25. I'm struggling to see how this could be if you run the stove correctly, meaning to a decent temp. When I open the door it's like a jet engine roar with the heat going up the chimney which must draw any potential small particles with it, it certainly pulls the ash in that has fallen towards the door seal. Is it down to people not running these things correctly, upto temp with well seasoned wood...... Can't help stupid... NoPedigree.
