[urlto ski for the recommendation[/url], I ordered one through [urlof Camping on eBay[/url] on Monday night having missed out on a local s/h eBay auction for one. It arrived first thing Wednesday morning. [urlalready fitted the high temp silicone flashing to the workshop roof:[/url] [imgOut of the box it's got a good feel to it. Not heavy cast plate, but 2-3mm laser cut steel. Excellent tolerances - no gaping holes or misaligned doors or panels. Weighs about 10Kg. [imgNice little touches like a spring ball on the leg locking pins. [imgSet it up on a plinth to give me a bit of height. It's only 500mm from base to stove top. The legs are zipped tied down and the grids are screwed down to those hefty oak bearers I had lying around. [imgFlue's pieces are swaged and go together well. Get a good burn on quickly - doesnt like to tick over with a large log in their, really prefers smaller pieces but it can be run a bit slower than afterburner setting. The relatively thin stove top gets the heat through to the pan quickly and boiled a trangia kettle in <6mins. It's going to come in use on some camping/forestry trips in the near future thanks to another very recent acquisition which I'll post about another day ;) [imgSnug as a bug in the workshop now. The missus wont see me till hibernation is over... [img

Just want to add, when you are saying hetas installation and all that, I needed a stove and a flue putting in, easily something I could have done, but its a rental so needed paperwork, went with a major local company, oh my, the total bodge job they tried to pass on me, luckily though I knew what should be so, certificate does not mean comppetance. Just sayin!

I now have 2 of these! The flue on the first didn't fit into the burner. I've been sent a replacement & they don't want the original back...

So, I have one for sale if anyone is interested?? Not much involved in getting the fault rectified
