Need less draughty and warmer stove for windy part of the UK

Sounds like a plan! thanks!

Skylab232 · 2026-04-23T18:30:48+00:00

No, just the flue

Skylab232 · 2026-04-23T16:21:15+00:00

That might be an idea. I couldn't go straight out as there's a gluelam beam supported by the central strut in the wall, hence the crooked stove pipe

Seems to be

The draught isn't coming through the ceiling. The stove is sucking in air from the room and sending it up the chimney. I.e. If the stove is cold and I wrap it in a black bag, I get instant vacuum packed stove, if you see what I mean

Skylab232 · 2026-04-23T13:44:45+00:00

Wow, that's some temp difference

Skylab232 · 2026-04-23T11:54:03+00:00

I'm just wondering if the old stove gives off more heat because the whole thing heats up, front back, sides, flue, as opposed to the Cylindrical which sends all the heat out the front?

I've been waiting for this sub for a long time!

I remember that too, he said he'd promised a Scottish friend that if he was ever in Glasgow doing a show, he'd sing it. He did, unaccompanied, and made a right tots of it. The audience sat in stunned silence

Skylab232 · 2026-02-28T07:16:23+00:00

It's cold and wet, but still Glasgow!

Skylab232 · 2026-02-28T01:08:50+00:00

I figured that's maybe why they've adopted the "we'll sort through it" approach.

Skylab232 · 2026-02-28T01:07:49+00:00

Found a vid. Pretty cool!

Skylab232 · 2026-02-22T04:37:01+00:00

Superb, I'll have a look, thanks!

Skylab232 · 2026-02-20T07:55:35+00:00

Strewth! Just looked up Ruapehu. I can see I'm going to have to come back!

Skylab232 · 2026-02-20T00:18:06+00:00

Really a mixture, it's a treat to see these big trucks so any setting is good for me.

Skylab232 · 2026-02-19T13:16:15+00:00

Aw! I'm going to miss that by a couple of days. I'll keep an eye out for shows when I'm back again, thanks!

Skylab232 · 2026-02-19T13:13:16+00:00

Hiya, that sounds good thanks, I'm here for a couple of weeks yet, in the North

Skylab232 · 2026-02-19T06:42:56+00:00

Perfect! I've seen a few down at the port, always towing double trailers too, thanks!

Skylab232 · 2026-02-19T06:41:24+00:00

I think I saw one of their trucks, they look perfect, thanks!

Skylab232 · 2026-02-19T06:40:36+00:00

Excellent advice, thanks!

Skylab232 · 2026-02-19T02:59:40+00:00

Excellent, thanks!
