we have an open fire in our living room, nice it is too :thumbs:

 

i lived on a mahogany broads cruser made back in the late 1950s, i installed a small queeny type wood burner as well as a tiled harth for safety. best way of living in my opinion as this not only heated the boat but i fitted a small back boiler that fed both the galley sink but also the 12volt pumped shower. most important thing is to install a pressure blow off valve going out of the boat for the water tank, if not your in danger of a tank burst, NOT GOOD :no:

 

all fitted and made by my own hands, job satisfaction at its best :thumbs:

I fitted a charwood country wood burner brilliant, got a new flue liner good idear to get a stove pipe thermometer to see what temp your burning at to low and you don't burn off the creasote this is what starts chimney fires, to hot this burns out your liner, so knowing the temp is a good idear, good to look at what wood to burn, and to start your fire with to get heat quicker this get good thermals going in the flue, I teach carpentry and joinery at a college and can get my hands on all the soft wood cut up by our technicians this is perfect to start with. I have found where the local authority dump all the trees cut down into nice size logs best thing they are FREE most hardwood is good ash best cherry good elm not so good

woth taking a look for best woods to burn. If any one has any info on log splitters thats my next move.

:yes::yes::yes:

Nice tip about the Thermometer there, Twins. Never heard of one of those before.

 

Regards Log Splitters? Might I suggest ye look at automatic ones? Check Google, there's tons of them out there. Only I've just bought a hand swung, 'blunt axe' one and it's an absolute B*stard! to get on with! Mechanical one's got to be good, compared to bringing this damn thing crashing down for an hour, just to get eough for one night!

 

Ye might have found my Thread about it, on this board, by now?
