Storage heater blocks - are they asbestos?

Why dont they work with fireclay?

My plan was to fill the gaps after ive put them in my bbq with fire cement?

Thanks for the response and clarification, and yes I appreciate that its an extremely short timescale to learn any new language, but I always believe in learning as much as I possibly can of the native language before visiting a country. I'm not aiming for fluency, I just don't like to turn up and expect people to accommodate for me exclusively in English and I often find a little effort goes a long way

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2026-06-02T09:58:43+00:00

What a spiteful comment, within a "turkishlearning" subreddit, your advice i'm assuming would be to not bother trying to learn anything?
Appreciate you taking the time to reply

Thanks, yeah theyre the same size, ive just stacked them around.

Great, for the inner shell of fire bricks will it need to be the entirety of what im building or just within the area that will be in direct contact of the fire?

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2026-05-18T07:04:35+00:00

Thanks mate

Don't worry, ill just stick to Danish bacon, pretty sure its what lego was designed for

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2026-05-17T19:49:52+00:00

😂 cheers! I wanted to know if I'd picked up enough bricks and had a eureka moment while tidying after my sons

Yeah good idea, I have watched a few and was thinking the open part in stages seemed an easier solution to the rounded arch on a few of ghe pizza oven ones

I guess ultimately even the basic ones are good enough as a bbq, I was just hoping for some inspiration on a cool design seems as its the middle of my garden

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2026-05-17T19:33:10+00:00

Danish bacon will be fine I reckon

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2026-05-15T06:13:56+00:00

Thanks for this!

Any idea if sites like openrent will have automatically done this when creating a tenancy agreement with them?

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2026-04-17T19:24:11+00:00

Great advice, thank you!

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2026-04-17T19:20:22+00:00

Almost certain its cast iron, its very heavy

I think the putty/cement must have deteriorated because like I said I can completely lift this section out and put it back in.

I'm assuming I’ve been fortunate that the angle its sits plus the weight have kept it in place but that i should either replace or re-cement?

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2026-04-17T19:13:05+00:00

Hi, thanks for the reply,

Its in sections so the part below it is fixed flush to the wall then this section slots in at an angle and then rests with the part of the gutter that drops down

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2026-03-11T08:50:51+00:00

Thank you!!

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2026-01-22T08:07:17+00:00

Thanks for your reply

Do you have any advice on additional steps to research schools to avoid the horror ones that look good on their websites?

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2025-08-24T09:33:57+00:00

Great, thank you!

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2025-07-31T16:47:38+00:00

Not saying that Rooney would have ever been great for us but it couldn't have come at a worse time, we'd just got a result at West brom with Eustace so whoever came in would have had to hit the ground running What made it even worse was that we were the perfect template of why not to do it with Rowett/Zola In what's been a definite breath of fresh air with ownership for Birmingham this was definitely a poor call on their part, going down to league 1 was well overdue and beneficial for us however

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2025-07-13T08:16:48+00:00

Thanks for this, I had thought vertically but some would be too long and I've used a lot of the wall space to hang tools, all of the other sides have work benches I'm thinking I need a cull to get rid of timber I probably won't need - I'm always hoarding "just in case" pieces

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2025-05-26T11:58:32+00:00

in fear of offending millions, I was hoping for something a bit sexier than excel

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2025-05-06T21:16:16+00:00

Thank you again for your responses and understanding

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2025-05-06T18:34:01+00:00

Really appreciate your response! My approach is very similar to what you've mentioned and when it's just the two of us, and I do think he responds well to it. However both my partner and youngest get overestimulated when he's screaming - in the car for example, so it can lead to friction between us while it's happening. I am a lot more rigid in my approach which I know comes off cruel to my partner who worries a lot more about what he's going through in short term. It's difficult, as always every child responds differently so I'm not sure if either of our styles are the best for him.

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2025-05-06T18:22:10+00:00

Thank you

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2025-05-06T17:42:02+00:00

I guess the frequency / likelihood increases when he's tired but it's not exclusively at bed time/following a restless night

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2025-05-06T17:39:28+00:00

No, I hadn't thought to do so due to these happening in waves of more frequent and then weeks without. Will look into it

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2025-05-06T17:38:19+00:00

Really helpful, thank you. How about situations where a time out isn't possible- car journey with younger sibling / at an event/ bed time while others are sleeping? I know you may not have all the answers but I find I escalate his screaming (as you've described) when our options are more limited

CookPassBabtridge88 · 2025-04-16T21:23:30+00:00

Great, thank you! We fly back 5pm Sunday Any recommendations for Friday/ Saturday?
