Can't beat a real log fire

[vernon]

Can we have a specific post for this? in true Vernon aka 'The Pyro' style?

This incident is hazy as it was 44 years ago....

It might resurface at a later date with suitable styling be patient....thene there's the Jet Provost wing tip auxiliary fuel tank incident but it will keep for now.

In the '86 storm my parents had a tree blow down in our garden. It gave use 23 years of firewood until we finally ran out of this year

It would have lasted 23 months with me

Sadly living in a city centre flat, we have a very large fire place (6 ft across and 5 ft high) in our living room but we are not allowed to lay a fire. So we have a gas fire installed - not quite the same, but it does produce a lovely warmth.

Paraffin is best used for fire breathing.

Shortly before midnight on New Years Eve, Chuffy and I were treated to the sight of a slightly out of practice andy gates jumping around our garden patting the flames on his beard out

We were supposed to be wassailing the fruit trees but instead they ended up with a nice coating of parrafin Hopefully it won't have done them any harm.

Love log fires but without them our house would be freezing! We have 4 in our house (2 are coal burners) and we keep them going 24/7 during the winter! Nothing better after a cold ride or run than a nice fire to sit by

Lucky bugger. We can't have one, no proper chimney. I know there's mess and lighting and cleaning it out but I'd love one.

This shouldn't stop you if you really want one, take a look at prefabricated metal flues, you can buy them suitable for use with wood and solid fuel stoves.


And in Gavintc's case there are quite a few woodburning stoves available that are authorised for use in smoke control areas.

I spent some time looking today. Class one 316 flexible stainless liner will do it apparently, and, as you say a clean burn multi fuel stove. Might be on after all!
