Cranked up Chimnea. Houses have no chimney....

Nice you can't beat a real fire

 

[raleighnut]

Yep,I had to wait years before ours broke down to the point I couldn't fix it* but eventually the motor packed up and you can't get reconditioned ones any longer, a new motor was over £200 so it got stripped down.

* I'd fitted a new pump, several hoses, 2 belts and a 'fill sensor' previously to keep it running.

And here's mine... Has a back boiler, so does all the upstairs radiators too...

Good to see another Dowling fan out there. Bought my first Dowling, an Aztec, back in the late eighties. A Dumfries show offer paid around £80 and still in working order in the shed. Switched around five years ago to a Hybrid. It was for sale s/h locally and little used.

Here's ours this very evening

We had several fireplaces put back in our victorian house, mainly just to be decorative, but decided to make this one a functional one. Purely by good fortune this one lets us have a quiet little fire that hardly uses any coal but gives off a fair bit of heat, despite it being a large and quite imposing fireplace. In a previous place the fire would get through loads of coal and all the heat would woosh up the chimney so was reserved for special occasions.

Just finished burning the eucalyptus that died last year and which we cut down in January. After a summer in the conservatory, a freshly split log was at 0% moisture! A bit overdried, but it burnt nicely.
