@Ecthelion Have you got UFH and if so, what is the U-Value of it under the pipework?

Does that mean you do not believe the science behind the debate? Isn't that like saying it is OK to steal from a shop because you heard that someone else had done it.

Know idea in reality, so shall call it 'half an average'. If we could nailed down our true environmental footprints to the gram equivalent, then we could easily tax it to change behaviour. But we can't. I suspect that you actually like your wood burner and don't really realise that there is an environmental cost to it.

Degrees in Renewable Energy and Environmental Science, A Master and 2/3rd of a PhD in Energy Usage. Well I have the biggest I suspect.

I am in trouble then as I am sitting in a room that is between 17.25 and 17.562°C. See you all on the other side as I don't have long to go.

If you could see PM10s, let alone PM1s, you could get a job in a chemical laboratory, would save getting the microscopes out. As I said, you are only convincing yourself.

It depends on what you measure, and how. For example: Compare the particulates emitted by a wood burner and a diesel car that is ticking over. Both will be producing about 5 kW of power, so comparable in output. You can also compare the efficiency i.e. how much energy each uses in one hour. You can compare noise, say at 1 metre distance. What you cannot do is compare 1 wood burner will all the vehicles that pass your house while it is lit. As for industry, not many use wood fired energy these days in the UK. If they did, we would have run out of indigenous things to burn. You can try as hard as you like to convince yourself that your wood burner is doing no harm. But you are only convincing yourself.

My Favoutrite Linda Cosgrave kissed me It almost made me sick I wasn't even looking oh what a beastly trick Her mouth was wet and greasy and her sticky little lips were full of salt and vinegar she'd been eating fish and chips I told her she was yucky and she went off in a huff if that's what kissing girls is like I'm going to be a puff I really miss Tim Brooke-Taylor

Thank you. I enjoyed it and which they could do a more in depth series, but accept that it is rather niche. Another good one is In Their Element Has Andrea Sella in it, and he is a bit bonkers, but a brilliant science communicator. This RI lecture about Rare Earth Elements is just brilliant.

You got the same Goodies book for Christmas as well then.

You may be worth going for radiators as the thermal losses though only 30mm of insulation and then into the floor will be quite high. You will need to run your flow temperature higher as well, which is never a good thing with wooden floors.

There is a girl in 3C, with a wart on on knee, and a pimple on her behind. I gave her 3P and she showed them to me. I wonder what she would do for a quid.

Well Phenolic Foam is about as good as you can get, you may need to fit some battens to support the floor boards, but they will only be a relative small percentage of the floor area, so maybe some sort of high density plastic.

She sorted you out in a second then.

@Pocster walks into a clock shop and puts his old chap on the counter and says "Can you fix this". The girl behind the counter says "This is a clock shop, not a cock shop you twat" Pocster then says " I know, put two hands on it"

I always like it when my Grandmother said "5 and twenty past" or "Five and 20 to".

what does LAP stand for?

They were mad to start with. Go monoblock and consider a different plumber.

Me to, since I was a lad. You may want to read this.

Is the noise intrusive, they show a low level 27 dB I seem to remember.

They are really quite fascinating. When I was a lad I applied for a job in a place that made bearings. Most of them relied on adhesive to hold the asbestos in place. One day I intend to test out an idea I had 50 or so years ago about a cast bearing.

Now I often post up links to radio shows, and get very few replies, but people may find this interesting. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001y89y There is 5 of them.

No, they are just fan assisted radiators that are small. You can just plumb them in to the existing system. https://www.plumbworld.co.uk/smiths-space-saver-ss55-hydronic-plinth-heater-with-brushed-steel-grille-1304-1261300

Not without looking. It was mentioned when I was at university 20 years ago by one of the lectures, and I think that link in the first post covers it.

Concepts fine. Pushfit may be gentler on the hands when on full chat.
