You think more? Its not a really big one, about the size of a lawnmower I
guess. TBH I have no idea what quantity it would need.

Kerosine (heating oil, parafin) etc has about 10kWhr/litre of energy
in it. When your looking at the rating plate to see how much
electricity it needs it'll probably tell you it's heat output as
well. It might quote BTUs rather than kW/Hrs. Divide BTUs by 3412 to
get kW/Hrs.

35,000 BTU is around 10kW so it should burn about 1l of kero per hour.

I've got a reel which is 50mx13A, and another 10Mx13A. The former has 4
sockets, the latter 3.

Oh, meant to say, the volt drop on the 50M should be OK, 's quite fat cable.
The one thing it hasn't got is a blue 16A plug on the end, so would need an
adaptor from blue 16A to 13A socket. ISTR caravan hookups are pretty
universally big round blue ones.

Ay, typically 10 or 5 amp feeds, varies from site to site depending
ultimately on there set up.

Since current plans are for me and Bob-the-101 to travel on our own on
Friday, there is room for it....

We need to de-forest somewhere to feed it - the pit is 2 foot square.

I can bring chainsaw and I may have a log splitting axe somewhere :)

Austin, can you think of anywhere 'local' that may have windfalls that
need clearing?

Sounds like an opportunity and good excuse to get the park warden to
let us roam hundreds of miles of woodland track on them woods that
feature fo heavily on our maps for.... some sticks :0)

I'll bring the fire extinguisher 80) ... on a serious note branches
that have been off the tree for a year or so tend to spit less from my
open fire days.... or was it less likely to tar the chimney, brings
back memories of a Chimney fire we had.

If - by 'sublime' you mean:

Then I'd have to agree. And unlike Ice Cold in Alex, doesn't have any
ambulances bogged down in sand...

Anything will burn, wet is 'charming' in terms of sound and lighting
mind... Wet also splits easier, remove the bark first, leave the bark
by the fire to dry, instant kindling for next day...

Who cares anyway, I just wanna go get some chainsaw and axe action ;-)

I think you mentioned this before, and I was going to ask if there's a

I was going to just vent it off, then get stuck in, but fear I may
have left some vital point out that may potentially kill me and remove
the equity from my neighbours property...

Films of differing genre, but classics both to behold! Unless you're the traitor & then you should die -
ahhh, but if he dies, they die!

Might i recommend a truly superb film for this season - 'downfall' it is superb & gives a very good
veiwpoint as to what the hell most Germans must have felt in 1945.

Either that, or the tru film of '05 - the wrecking of phone by purple anger!

Vent it to atmosphere, for as long as possible, but not less than 1
week. Remove valve. (very, very tight connection, or saw off (brass-no
sparks) ) Fill with water for a week. Drain. Flush with 1/2 pint of
bleach to kill mercaptan (smell) Drain. Cut.

See you next week. Probably.
