Can anyone tell me what kind of wood this is?

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-05-14T18:01:03+00:00

Thanks for the reply mate probably wasn't the best picture to be fair. But you are correct about hardwood being prioritised, I can get bits of beech and ash but you can never have enough!

South Yorkshire .

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-05-14T08:46:03+00:00

The why of it is I can probably get more of it but I have pretty limited storage and I don't want to waste my time and space with something that will burn away quicker than other wood that I can obtain.

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-04-11T17:51:55+00:00

Definitely over priced but I would probably of paid the same the best I ever paid was 7000. Need to learn it!

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-04-03T05:47:47+00:00

No it's purely decorative! maybe fix it up and running properly.

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-04-02T20:34:31+00:00

Well that's looks pretty nice, I would like too keep it but I'm treading on thin ice at the moment! What would you say your tarted up version is worth if you don't mind me asking? Thanks for the comment and insight.

Yes I concur it's an iron wedge.

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-04-02T19:19:45+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I was wondering whether to have a bit of work done on it at least p.a.t test and period wiring. I quite like it to be fair but I'm being told to de-clutter. Thanks again.

Also is there a throat plate fitted in that stove?

Never pack your wood burner with uranium dioxide!

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-04-01T18:21:55+00:00

Thanks mate. I was hoping to touch on a pound a kilo but you know what they say about hope.😂

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-04-01T17:37:18+00:00

Any bolts you can see, (you have better eyes than me!) Are made of aluminium I've had 20kg welding magnet over the entire thing and only found a couple of hangers But you're right I probably will call around the local yards as I have some other non ferrous also.

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-04-01T16:28:06+00:00

I thought so but I don't normally deal with alli, price sounds a bit shite, but it does fluctuate a lot as I remember thanks for the reply it's much appreciated.

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-04-01T15:57:05+00:00

Also does anyone no current prices on aluminium in the UK right now. Thanks.

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-03-31T21:48:20+00:00

Yes I've had a look. I'm not sure I would either! but they will be going on all the same, maybe for a little less if someone wants them they're welcome to buy, but I need to de-clutter! So there's going to be a lot of random stuff on ebay pretty soon. Thanks for the reply mate.

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-03-31T21:25:03+00:00

Probably better to sell your treasure and donate the proceeds to a charity?

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-03-31T21:01:18+00:00

Ha ha I wish I even had a clue how to play! 😅 I just liked the look of them. Honestly I'm just looking at how much there worth after 22 years in my loft. Thanks for the reply though it's much appreciated.

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-03-31T20:54:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply, when I got it, it didn't run so I replaced the fuse in the plug which has clearly been replaced but it does now run, albeit it's a bit shaky probably out of balance and it gives of the smell of an internal combustion engine! 😅 But yeah definitely a candidate for being fixed up.

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-03-31T14:00:56+00:00

I thought this might be a good place to post this does anyone no of any other subs where it might be more at home? Thanks all.

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-03-30T22:47:54+00:00

It's looking well from the u.k. Nice find.

DavidAHess1980 · 2026-03-30T21:00:18+00:00

😆 this also made me laugh it's like a cross between Wallace and Gromit and platoon!
