I love this stuff!!

Just taken the microwave apart so I can install the magnetron into the side of my clearview so it can dry the timber as it burns it!

Oven drying does work, despite the claims of preceding posters. Good luck with your microwave fool.

With the oven it merely takes you two 'burns' ie two fish dinners, ensuring to '360 the log into position once one side has been dried. I've so far got the exposed wood down to 0% and the bark to 30% on many of my logs but will push to reduce the bark side to under 10% (to improve my burns) and hopefully get the wood to below 0% moisture.

Btw where's all the heat at? Having been burning only good wood and am not 'getting' the heat I was told was a cert with these devices. People say you will be stripping to the underpants once they get warm - so I've really just wasted a trip to Dunnes mega stores getting new ones in as the heat ain't there yet. Will order the coal in next week and hope it will get *TOASTY* then!

Btw don't spam my threads you f!ckers

Why would you waste energy (money) drying timber in an oven when mother nature can do it for free if you can get your act together. Oven drying does work hence commercial log suppliers kiln dry logs on a huge scale which makes it economical.

Me a fool... your the one roasting your fish supper with a side order of timber laced with god knows what mould & chemicals as a marinade.

Sorry but you seem to be speaking braille.

Pass the malteasers please!

I think I mentioned late last night that the way to measure the moisy#ture of logs is not to stick the probes into the outside surfaces - you need to split the log and take a reading on the freshly split face.

You seem to be of the same breed as people who buy gas fires, fit them themselves and then find out that they didn't have a flue in the first place, believe it or not it has happened to me !

Talking about Jack Daniels...... mmm !

Highrisk still hasn't answered my question as to whether or not he has a register plate(!) and whether the cost of it (if he has one) was part of the £250 fitting charge.

It certainly is a temperamental stove. Yesterday it gave no heat and blackened the glass completely, this morning it gave out lots of heat and kept the glass completely clean, and this afternoon's attempt produced no heat again!

Yeah I do this - so you're saying if the split face - ie the inside of the log - is under 20% it's good to go?

Nope, he meant the fish before you put it in the oven with the log!
