    Hi all, wondering if within the firebox size calculation I should be using the fire basket as volume or volume of firebox only Bit of background: reverse flow over and under. Cutting down firebox volume by way of internal door or baffle (detachable to allow for lesser or greater firebox...

    Galvanised No No (Yes??)

    Thx tucson, that's swayed it for me. I did look at the process of galvanisation (and almost understood it) but didn't understand how far in the zinc would be 'soaked' up by the steel. Apologies to you metal workers out there if my terminology sucks.... Coming from a catering background (so...

    Galvanised No No (Yes??)

    Thx Danny and radio. I did do a looksie before posting though didn't see anything to gain an informed opinion, especially when shot blasting it off. No sign of the link Danny but not in any rush

    Galvanised No No (Yes??)

    Hi all, came across a large piece of metal which would be ideal to use in constructing an inner door to my fire box (which is too large but don't want to cut it down). It was used to mix cement on back in the day... Problem is it looks like it's been hot dipped in zinc. My question: Given...

    What Smoking Wood Do You Use, and Have You Ever Tried Something A Bit Different?

    Veg oil would seem to be the way to go then....if one ever gets the luxury of a chain saw! The whiff of oil on the saw dust possibly is because of surface area exposed to oil...ie as the chain rips through....just a ponder however....

    That's a great idea, as is the veg oil, though Danny does make a sounds point about viscosity...

    Thought about sawdust myself til I realised how much oil a chainsaw uses....obviously ok if hand cut....Do you have problems with moisture with your dust?

    What Smoking Wood Do You Use, and Have You Ever Tried Something A Bit Different?

    Hi guys, I'm using bay (nobilus laurus) and gorse at the moment (amongst the usual oak, Chesnut etc.). Except for the leaves as they are too oily and give off the dreaded black smoke. Should have perhaps saved the leaves as they're an amazing fire lighter but the tree had to come down and...
