trapperman 474 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Brought this woodburner off eBay for my pallet house I built at the small holding it was £135 all in with 2 1m flue sections and 2 right angle bends 2 wall brackets and a rain cowl I also got an extra flue section and bend at £12 each i thought I would take a chance but I tell you what it’s a bloody great piece of kit, really kicks out the heat it’s not the thickest of metal but no thinner than my frontier stove so should last a few years at least and it draws much better with the 5” flue 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trapperman 474 Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Just made from 1200x600 euro pallets I collected from our shop some 10’ tins I got off a job years ago and some windows that were outside a new factory being fitted out all new 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 26,544 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Looks very cosy in there mate,nothing beats the heat thrown off by a log-burner. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trapperman 474 Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Yeah I built it after my canvas bell tent got flattened by that heavy snow last winter and to be honest the tent was up at least 18 months and was starting to go mouldy even after being retreated so I’ve taken it down now for this winter so I’ll be camping in the pallet house or my old caravan for the winter its great I’ve got an old canvas hammock that hangs just in front of the burner so I can just put an arm out and chuck a log or two in without having to get up 6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Francie 6,368 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Looks good wee fire mate, is the whole pallet shed air tight, if so how did you do it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trapperman 474 Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 No it’s far from air tight, but I’ve screwed some half decent fence panels along the back, again taken off an old job, then used old tarps and batons on one side I have various bits and bobs of ply and tarps to get it sealed up a bit more for winter camping Quote Link to post Share on other sites
