gsr341 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Decided to build my self a log burner for the workshop this winter (so i can hopefully crack on with my build) i know its not a new idea but thought i would show what ive done so far : still required some baffles fitting chimney building and fitting secondry air valves fitting a frame around rge door to keep smoke in fully welding up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treebloke Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 How do you plan to get the ashes out?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsr341 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 How do you plan to get the ashes out?. wood prefurs to burn in a bed of ash, so will just keep chucking wood on top till it gets too deep and needs emptying , if it is difficult to clean will add an ash pan in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I find it easier to give it a good poke and take the burnt out ash from the base. I am sure you know what your doing and will be interested to see the finished product. Did you buy the hinges.

gsr341 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 don,t know about the orange gas bottle,but i recognise the orange discovery in the back ground,how is your build progressing? hello , plan was to strip the disco as soon as i got home and scrap the shell, but still havent got around to that yet , hope fully build over winter when the log burner heats up the shed (p.s Vosa where sat exatally where you said they would be on way home) Very true but if you take the top layer from the ash bed then this is whats keeping your fire going. Also I find it easier to give it a good poke and take the burnt out ash from the base. I am sure you know what your doing and will be interested to see the finished product. Did you buy the hinges. build the hinges my self in work , cut them out of a section 100X100X10 angle cheers for the tip on the ash , looks like im having an ask box now too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red90 driver Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I think you should paint it that nice shade of orange with he green tinting in. definately need an ash pan... got some some nice stainless rod for making a grate. Not from work at all..... also some (whatever size you require) galv sheet for the pan itself (could even provide stainless sheet up to 10mm.

landroversforever Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 spotted 3 fly-tipped gas bottles on my way to college the other day, was very tempted to pick them up. Only trouble is I dont have the means to make a log burner or the space to store it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only trouble is I dont have the means to make a log burner or the space to store it! collect bottles any way , 1) be doing the counrtry side a favour 2) saving your local council money 3) give you a very good reason to make a burner 4) cut tops off (safely) weigh them in lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
