Do they realise they would need a full butty to store the pellets? ttps://woodstovefilter.co.uk/- Strewth, £2k plus vat!!!!! and if they are self cleaning and fitted to the top of the flue, then where does all the particulate discharge go?

Why have I got light snowfall on my screnn whilst on the site?

A take off from the top of the tank also eables it to be sited forward of the very lowest part of the tank, so that you do not draw sediment. The pumps are designed to lift, and once primed, they retain the feed as long as you have no leaks on the incoming pipework.

For whatever reason, the poor flame at high fire is probably down to flue, but youseem to have made good progress.

The only reason for filling with sand on Aga's and Rayburns et al was to insulate the casing and panels that were not designed to withstand heat.As yours is already bricked, then you should have no problem

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Both sides of the belt will be shiny if misaligned, polished by different pulleys

On the boat we have heavy vinyl, but at home in the bathroom we have 'click fit' vinyl planking which looks like Karndean but is more reasonably priced. It also is totally waterproof and hardwearing/damage resistant. check your local B&Q or Wickes

I always reckon my Bubble Stove will use between 6 to 8 litres over 24 hours. This is running on a touch above no 1, and maintains a good ambient temp around 24o in the saloon, and feeds a small rediator in the bedroom with a radiator. As a professional technician of vaporising appliances, I would dispute the minimum figures of 1.12 cc min. That amount of fuel would not keep the pot at a sufficiently high temperature to maintain vaporisation. The calorific value of diesel will give you about just under 11kw per litre, so 1/3rd of a litre per hour will give you 3-4 kw, which fits in with your quoted ambient temperatures.

One of the ebay sites advertises them as heaters for air freshener pads, which would seem to be about its limit from the size.

If there is a permanent or prolonged list, then the fuel will only lie in that side with the level in the other side too low to enable a stable flame to support combustion. You may also find that the outlet of the float control is to high and limits the amount of fuel which has the same effect as above. If the pot temperature is too cool then you get a dirty yellow flame. The occasional movement off level does not adversely affect combustion in a pot burner.

If your alternator drives the rev counter, it will make a difference, to the reading. DAMHIK

I had to chNGE THE SENSOR ON MY 4108M and as the thread was smaller was provided with a bush. this I installed, and then bled the sensor. This meant I had the sensor in 'dead' water and it overread as the bush took it out of the flow except for the bottom. when I installed it without bleeding, it read correctly. Sorry for the capitals, didn't notice til I'd posted

The gardens and potential moorings would be compromised by the continuous moorers opposite on the towpath, especially since the towpath improvements.

If you can't get it running right in calm conditions, then how will that help?

If the flow rates are correct, the pot and air holes are clean, then the final check is to test the flue draught draught, which will be specified in the manufacturers instructions. For this you would need a draught gauge or inclined manometer. as a service technician on these types of appliance, I never bothered with one of those as they are relatively expensive for little gain. it is possible to replicate a standard manometer to the incline by angling it so that you take the 10" mark 1" high, and that means rach graduated mark is only 10% of the indicated one. Have you tried out Cuthound's suggestion of reducing the high fire down to a blue flame and then adjusting the low flame accordingly? have you verified the flow rates?

not having much hair, I have not spent money on a hair dryer. However, my Perkins 4108M has an arrangement where fuel drips onto an element at the heater stage which has served well over 34 years. It was a little disturbing, the first time I used it with the deckboards up, to see a raging inferno from the air filter!!!😱

The pot is held into the hearth with 4 Hexagon screws. You can usually see the gasket between the two surfaces, but if you slacken the screws, the pot lifts and you can inspect it. Any ingress of air except through the pot perforations affects the flue draw and disturbs the combustion.
