jetro 5,349 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 we burn turf here. its free any amount of it and has great heat. the only draw back is too much ash. j, How does that work? Is it as simple as it sounds? sure is ss. you cut your turf in the summer, should be dry in two weeks, and bring it home. we cut enough in one go to last two years. theirs a small amount of work to do,but not much.

Moll. 1,769 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 It hasn't got a door or a lid http://www.c20firepl...-burner-18-inch It is bascially a bigger (around 25% more space to put fuel in) more controllable open fire. With you now, for some reason i looked at that picture and thought it was a box with a door at the front the photos of it in a fire place make it clearer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have just been reading about it through google, that's well interesting. Did you not use logs or coal too or just peat/turf? I'm just off out to dig up my neighbours garden while it's dark! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It really does shut down like a stove, well pleased with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Nothing yet.. Used to burn mainly coal in the house I used to live in years ago on the open fire. It was on a large council estate, and every winter when it used to get really cold the fences used to start disappearing.. They'd build them back over the summer, but every year they''d be looking sparse again by Christmas! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,639 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Seasoned oak, ash and birch from a local golf course we log and split ourselves. Also coal when needed or when seasoned wood runs a bit thin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
artic 595 Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I can get coal pretty cheap. What brand of smokeless coal are you using? Again I used house coal in the open fire, but don't want to use this in the stove. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
