Thought the use of drainpipe was a brilliant idea, easily adapted to fit a narrowboat's roof. Smaller sized pipes are used to make the frame

Here's a guy that has a narrowboat that's turned into a floating garden centre. He even explains how to grow cucumbers.... http://wonderlandfreelance.co.uk/2017/02/27/cultivating-the-cut/

Thanks for that...... the perils of 'Fake News'

We usually use Excel but was told that was being replaced by New Heat (?) - can't confirm that though. We've been burning New Heat for about a month now, and are finding it really good. One 20kg bag lasts us just over 3 days, the last price paid was £10.50 a bag. Our stove is a Stovax. Yesterday passing Midland Chandlers, we took them up on their special offer on Excel, buy over 6x25kg bags and get a 10% discount off = £10.80 a 25 kg bag. Doing a quick add up it looks like we're carrying 225 kg worth of coal in the bow ❄️ - with a fair wind who knows, we might not need to buy any more this winter ?.
