Looks great! So pleased you've got a warm haven to retreat to too.

Thanks MJN. Finally got a properly warm place to be- & tbh the stove laughs at my house's main 8kw one. I defo stumbled on a great stove/ Devon biker chap, Bow Mill Stoves.

Atumn greetings all.
 

Have to put an update. No hasn't burnt down..

 

It's proving a triumph: each weeknight in cabin now, got a nice chair in. Of course the energy crisis meaning I've fluked it too: I'm not using the ASHP for central heating, impossible to afford, so retreating down here is proving invaluable. Just then to run the gauntlet to dive upstairs & put 'leccy blanket on 11.30pm. No cost at all too. I do put a hottie (heat the water top of stove) on my lower back, as chair cold to start off but then I'm tickety boo 8-11.30pm.

 

Cheers Zoot.

@Onoff took a few more snaps now I've man-caved it up inside a bit more. 26*C seems consistantly achievable, albeit only at 2nd half of evening, & that's currently @ -1*C outside. Can't quite believe what a fab project this has turned out to be. I think you need an Onoff man-cave too.

@zoothorn it looks great. Very easy to doze off in there I bet!

 

Tell me you fitted smoke & CO alarms in there?

 

Kidde do combination ones.


Yup got a CO alarm, & digi display type 0.00 giving extra confidence the CO stays at 0, & a blip light telling me ON & working.

 

Appreciate the consideration. I'll even get a fireguard, for 1st 45mins when front vents open getting it going = super safe.

 

Saying that- I did have a small explosion! Strange, 1st night: Once up to speed, I think I shut down vent too far (testing it's "efficiency" or summat).. & Bang! a small combustion. Scary. But none since, by keeping vent always @ 1cm min open. 

 

24*C is luxury, & ideal. 25* tonight & then a shock opening cabin door into -1*C & crunching down garden, stream babbling away, big moon lighting my way. It's ace. Zoot

Most modern stoves like the one we have, limits how far you can shut it down, they claim that is needed to meet the present emissions limits.
