Hi - we have a free standing clearview stove - with twin walled stainless steel steel stove pipe . We want to change it for black pipe - and then fell over when we got the quote! Can they be spray painted? How ? Is there someone who will do it ( we are in the North West). As much help appreciated. Stew

Sorry missed out question- it’s a herald hunter- with an integrated back boiler . Can we use it as a room heater only - is there a safe way to do this?

Help regarding installation. We have a ‘ heavy’ clear view- 12kw stove that we want to put free standing in our soon to be converted barn . The barn is on the floor above the garage .The floor where the stove is going to sit has new 6 x2 rafters and a central RSJ and chipboard t and g boards ( 1 inch thick).We want to put the stove in the corner, but raise the corner to make a plinth, sit a slate hearth on it - obviously will get a HETAS engineer to install . I want to raise the plinth ( triangle shaped) say 10 inches from the floor . My thoughts were to put say breeze blocks on the floor - then the slate hearth and front up the front with ceramic tiles. Sorry for massive design/ details - but what are peoples thoughts? Do I need to reinforce the rafter below? What about block underneath? - don’t want to make 4x2 box ?? Any ideas- help! Stew

Just seen this for sale for £625- days it’s 12kw- anyone know it’s make and is it worth it? any information greatly appreciated Stee

Any body know what this stove is - sitting on a mates garage - needs a new baffle plate/ glass rope etc etc - is it worth the effort- he wants £100. cheers

Hi - hope someone can help on this. We have moved to a lovely property in the Lakes and had lots of conifers -ash etc professionally cut down- I’ve been chopping these and storing. Appreciate they won’t be seasoned till next winter. Thinking about this winter- we have stuff fallen and a large oak branch that has broken off- don’t know how long all this has been on floor. Is it a case of checking when my moisture meter arrives- or buy some seasoned stuff- which I really don’t want to- see photos

Any one know what make and model this beast is? It’s in great condition with a back boiler and running 5 radiators. Taking it out - anyone know it’s second hand value??

Ps it has a mesh( metal) filter - which I have cleaned.

Cheers mate. Will do. What has got me thinking is that I can’t ever remember having the issue prior to serving it. I had an issue with leaking fuel- fuel pipe worn out- but they said it had water in fuel?? Did notice that it runs rich- what I mean is that when idling the chain runs around bar- is this usual? Hope this can help you further- but many thanks for your input so far! Where are you based as a matter of interest? Cheers again- it’s such a powerful saw- and has served me well to date- don’t want to send it to the saw shop in heaven just yet!

Many thanks- yes it’s old- but not massive use. The problem is getting worse. . Just had it serviced and it needed a new fuel line- but got a new spark plug etc. Does not cut out when rev up. But if it stalls on idle - or I turn it off, even after 1 or 2 mins can’t re restart it for 10 mins - then with choke? Any ideas on getting compression sorted?

I have a very old - but great cutting saw- starts first or second time on the choke start. Cuts great. But if it stalls or a stop for re fuel- can I get it to start warm!! Never. Have to wait 20 minutes- and start on choke. New plug- clean filter- new fuel. Any thoughts ideas really appreciated! Stew

Can anyone help with this- just moved into an old derelict house in the south lakes- anyone know what this make model is? Any good. What is the dial devise on the side? Looks broken as a loose wire is coming out of it ? Any help appreciated . Says something about ‘ Firecast- with a Derby address- and a lot of German writing???. Stew

Thanks Dinosaw- this might be a goer. Will do some research to see if the 038 fits the 038 AV Super. Is this the type of part you have. chainsaw parts stihl chainsaw rear handle fuel tank assembly Is it alloy or plastic- does it look like your part.
