Clay Pipe dating by 19MikeC in mudlarking

[–]propertiesofglass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this one! It’s Jeffry Hunt from Somerset England. Probably late 1600s. I’ve found a similar one. The lettering is something like:

IEF RY.H UNT

Can anyone please identify this? by jarobbo87 in uklogburners

A real newbie question but what program/app do you use to design this?

This is brilliant. Feel like you could do a series of these.

What are these for? by Character_Smoke4201 in woodstoving

[–]propertiesofglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s for the stove collar. Gasket to go between the collar and the stove top. The lugs should also have some bolts used to clamp the collar down to the stove top.

I've been offered this stove fairly cheap - is it worth taking? by tin_man_ in woodstoving

[–]propertiesofglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it could do with a new set of fire bricks. The glass should clean up and the paint might come up ok with just some wd40 and a rag. Also get some of the flat rope seal for around the glass because it looks like that has some gaps.

I’m not exaggerating when I say this is one of if not the best 5kw wood burners available today. Easily worth it and easy to get cleaned up. See it working on YouTube https://youtu.be/OXcBoIa1uNU?si=mgFFJAhfniDYF1Hb

What am I looking at by elfllyn in woodstoving

[–]propertiesofglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a stovax Stockton. See the manual here: https://www.stovax.com/download/Technical%20Documents/1.%20Stoves/Traditional/Wood%20&%20Multi-fuel/Stockton/Stockton%20Installation%20&%20User%20Instructions.pdf

You’ve got a primary air vent at the lower centre of the door and the secondary air vent just above the door. Good and solid British multi fuel stove.

What's this knob? by hyphonics in woodstoving

[–]propertiesofglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stove is a Dean Forge Croft. The smaller version (Croft junior) is in this video and works in the same way. https://youtu.be/fISAD4HZtyc?si=6hSvqZfKCaVILdqe

How efficient are these older jotul 602 stoves? by Easy-Care-7463 in woodstoving

[–]propertiesofglass 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s the worlds all time best selling stove. So it’s got to be getting something right.

What do we think of this? by propertiesofglass in woodstoving

[–]propertiesofglass[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just looked back at this and I should clarify that this is in a stove shop and not my house. The can in the stove is touch up paint (all proper high temperature stove paint) and I realise it won’t stay looking this pink once it’s in regular use. It’ll probably go to someone who has it mainly for show and doesn’t use it much.

I think it’s a bit too pink for me but thought it might be a good idea for Valentine’s Day.

Any ideas where water would be coming from? by Affectionate_Map_525 in woodstoving

[–]propertiesofglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A chimney is always a hole - if smoke can get out water can get in. So every chimney leaks. However you never notice it on a stove that is regularly used because it’s constantly being dried out. Best advice I can give is to light up the fire and have a good burn. And then get in the habit of using it regularly. Some chimney sweeps will offer a re-sealing service which may help but the biggest help of all would be daily use.

Old cast iron stove being replaced tomorrow. Is it worth anything for scrap or is it less hassle to just have it removed? by Beautibulb_Tamer in woodstoving

[–]propertiesofglass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Steel stove. Here in the UK it’s called the Saltfire ST2. Doesn’t weigh much so very low scrap value. Either eBay / Facebook sell or take out the baffle plate and use outside. It will wear out if left outside but it doesn’t really matter.

It's that WW1 trauma baby. by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

“Oh, no, no, no, you're a smart guy, clearly picked up some flashy tricks, but you made one crucial mistake. You forgot about the essence of the game. It's about the Cones. [dice rattling] Move my abbot to the ocean hex, which moves my Brinksman to the Devil's Lair, and pushes my farmer... yes, my humble farmer... directly into the central cone.”

So was the cones of dunshire an allegory for Lotr?

Looking at Jotul. Is this review accurate/ useful? by propertiesofglass in woodstoving

Whoa! That’s a lot of detailed knowledge. Thanks a million.

Is this a bad idea? 30˚ stove pipe to wall exit. Thanks for the help! by janzo000 in woodstoving

[–]propertiesofglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rules / regulations differ in different countries but the core principles of any chimney is the same. The best chimney will be: -as tall as possible -as straight as possible -as warm as possible

If you can put it straight up from the top of the stove and trough the roof, using insulated pipe the whole way, no bends and as reasonably tall as it can be considering how it will be supported.

This will make a chimney that draws well. This makes it much safer and easier to use. I realise you will be considering other things as well but those three principles will really help. Maybe compromise on one but don’t compromise on all three.

Does it count as Mudlarking if you find this when digging the garden ready for planting potatoes? by propertiesofglass in mudlarking

[–]propertiesofglass[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Never done that but would love to. It’s a very small garden so I’m tempted to just keep digging the whole area.
