Woodburners...

I have a tiny house with no heating and would love a wood burner! I don't have a chimney or flue though.

You dont need a chimney as you can buy a double walled flue which you run out up the side of the house.

Expensive but for us it was the best thing we ever done

Mine didn't cost anything.

Well, apart from an empty gas bottle, a grinding disc, some odd bits of steel and a welding rod.

Do you know my brother!? He actually sells them as decorative arty farty pieces and makes a fortune out of carp from a skip!

Hi Suzanne! I also have a multifuels stove & I've only moved into our place 2 months ago & I love it! Its big (8kw) chucks out a lot of heat. Not to heat the whole house mind but when I shut the livingroom doors its like a sauna. At the moment we haven't anywhere dry to store a tonne of wood so we buy them in bags (very big bags) from a merchat for £1 each. There is a lot there & we fill a priest hole in the inglenook with wood & it dries out nicely. I use fire lighters cos its easier. I tend to leave the door ajar to start her up as I find it draws better. Each to their own as every one has ther own way.

I buy kindling from the corner shop & get a big bag for £1. We also have a tree which we need to be cut up but as I said we have nowhere to store lots of wood but its in the pipeline!

I live on the snowdonia hills & really can't wait to light her in the snow!!

Just Google "gas bottle" "wood burner", you'll get loads of hits.

I sold one on ebay a couple of years back for about £125, ought to make some more really.

Make me one....... pretty please.........:rotfl::rotfl:

We have no chimney, but do have an outside wall - with a metal inside flue.

I'm definitely going to do some research.

Drop me a PM with some dimensions and I'll see what I've got kicking about.

You in a rush for it? I'm away from the workshop at the minute so haven't got my welder with me, that and I don't do anything in a rush,
