[Closed] Woodburner folk...simple buying question

Slight hijack but stove related can anyone recommend a decent stove fan at a reasonable price?
Cheers

Theres one at Aldi at the moment about £25

I got one of the cheapest fans off amazon and it works fine. They vary a bit regarding the min temp they (claim to) need to work off, but otherwise hard to see how they differ materially. Probably more important if your stove's in a recess, which mine is not, but never mind. I find it useful as a temperature gauge, easier to read across a room than a thermometer would be!

I wouldn't balk at storing kiln dried logs indoors, but my house is full of woodlice and spiders anyway...I usually bring in a week or so's worth of wood to warm up round the fire and it doesn't cause any problems.

in the house isnt really a problem as long as it's "pre dried" outside and isnt gopping wet and covered in fungi.

I bring a big load in next the stove at the same time I bring a quarter ton into the boiler room. Saves sending the boys out with the wood basket every night.

I have three baskets next to the other stove.

Cheers alibongo, I nipped out and got one from Aldi (sold out in the first two stores!)
Looks OK for the money, I'll be giving it a try tomorrow when the stove gets installed!

That's the kind of thing I had in mind Stoner

As a guide to firewood quality, look for someone BSL registered. It's another hoop to jump through for getting RHI payments, but is basically a standard for wood fuels of a maximum moisture content, sustainably sourced.
We haven't gone through it as it is a small part of what we do, but know some that have who buy timber from us as we are an FSC accredited holding (well, will be again once it's renewed).

If you are driving out of Bristol towards the Airport on the A370 keep going to you hit Cleeve, past the Lord Nelson and then looks for Logs for Sale after around ~800M and follow the lane (he's open Thursday, Friday and Saturday)

He doesn't really do the internet as he's in his 70's, but he owns a **** of woods and sells a lot of logs either by the bag or landrover load if you live in the area.

Cheers.
