Arguably any wood is "hopeless" on an open fire.Pebble wrote: ↑3 Dec 2021, 10:12am Problem with Chestnut is, it is hopeless on an open fire, sparks too much, you would need the fire guard up all night. I would have thought it would be fine for stoves if well seasoned, Horse Chestnut burns well. not as good as Oak or Ash but gives off good heat. Our pile for this winter is Ash, Rowan & Silver Birch.
I remember learning the risk factors for carbon monoxide poisoning!francovendee wrote: ↑3 Dec 2021, 4:00pmCertainly has the same smell I remember when everone used Esso Blue stoves in the 50's and 60's.
Anyone remember all the fires they caused?
The idea of being able to store the heat in a hefty mass,from what is essentially a very fast burning fuel (if you want clean burn), is very old.francovendee wrote: ↑3 Dec 2021, 4:00pm That's interesting. Our stove is made of cast iron and I suspect quite heavy. Until you get some heat into it there is quite a lot of smoke and no flame. After about 15 min if you add a log it smokes for a couple of minutes and then the smoke turns to flame. The stove then has a good level of heat inside.
I know people, our neighbour is one, who burn wood on an open fire. We've seen the street blacked out from the smoke.
I experience this with my multifuel stove with steel liner, which I use to supplement my oil fired central heating.francovendee wrote: ↑4 Dec 2021, 8:35am PDQ Mobile. I really like the look of that stove.
We've noticed that we get secondary heat from our stove. Not downstairs but in one of the upstairs bedrooms. The chimney is of concrete with a stainless steel liner from the stove running through it. After a few hours running warmth comes through the wall.
The heat in the wall lasts several hours.
How accurate is the outdoor one, and how did you calibrate it ?
If the registered CH temperature hasn't received the valid signal with the same ID Code in 60 minutes, it will be on for 3 minutes (without removing ID), and the reception fails, and this CH temperature will indicate "--", and then it will receive for 3 minutes/hour (removing ID)
