    the one with all the logs stored up one side of a wall in his kitchen (i think) can anyone find it for me as the ultra reliable search function brings up nowt…
    im having a new woodburner put in and fancy stealing a few ideas of wall stored logs..
    any other photos of indoor storage appreciated..

    No photos, but I use those supermarket home delivery plastic crates.
    I saw and split the wood outside, then bring a couple of crates in at a time.

    I do a sort of four way rotation.. First they go in an outside store with waterproof roof for seasoning.. then chopped to size and move into a big open shed.. Then I have a massive wicker basket in the rear entranceway to the house which I keep filled, transfering as I need them to a smaller one next to the burner.

    IIRC, Stoner’s uses an acro prop on one side and a wall on the other and stacks them in between.

    mmm loads of photos there cheers, I’m looking at a small diameter piece of rod fixed in ‘acro stylee’ a la stoner, and then use a small recess to pile against, I already have a kind of plinth storage for the other burner in the front room & log store outside and seasoning store round the back of the house.
    I just remember seeing that particular photo and liking the way he did it.

    sorry carl, been laying a sandstone path for mum.

    You mean this one:

    miketually, you, outside, nahhhhh!
    Acroprop, you luddite!

    Its a bit of 1 1/8″ steel pipe.

    Filled to the roof it lasts about 3 weeks in winter.

    searching for scaffold clamps or handrails on ebay brings up some ideas

    thanks very much, that was what i was looking for.. 😀
    thinking about piling it next to this from floor to ceiling about 3-4logs wide (approx what they are at at the moment).

    That looks a bit close. You wouldn’t want the stack catching fire. Flammable material should be 18″ from the stove (from memory).

    mmmm never thought that it would get that hot from there, its approx 200mm from the corner of the stove..will check…

    Any single skin flue pipe used must not come closer to combustibles than three times its diameter e.g for a 6″or 150mm pipe it needs to be a minimum of 18″ 450mm from a combustible material. This distance can be reduced to 50mm if double skin insulated flues are used.

    so looking at that i measured from where the flue edge will be and the stack should be nearasdammit 450mm from the edge…risk it for a biscuit?

    I was thinking more about the stove rather than the pipe.

    Just got this from Morso

    it was a socket, now it is a blanking plate. (see my other thread about that!)

    @mathew aren’t those figures also quotes from the flue rather than the actual stove?

    Go light your stove

    Leave it for an hour

    Go stick your hand on te surface of the right hand side

    Return from hospital …. Agree it might not be a clever place to stick logs

    I got it from the technical section here.

    I read it that it’s from the stove.
