Just wondering, has anyone tried this kind of stove inside a kelly kettle? Would it be more efficient? I have a kelly kettle might try a Coke can version as I dont have access to stinky Lynx :p

They are decent. I got one given to me, plain olive green, does the job. Think that may be a bit pricey though. You can pick them up for about £25 second hand.

By the sounds of it you haven't let it pre heat enough. Classic school boy error that I have made hundreds of times. Looks cool/scary:eek: but blackens your glass fairly well. You nearly need to let the pre heater nearly burn out in a draught free area before its hot enough to light...

Idle hands are the devils playground! Be very careful:lmao: If you have para cord you could play with knots and practice hitches etc www.animatedknots.com is a good site for learning simple decorative knots and a fun to make. Have fun and don't fall off the roof on monday. Phil.

Sounds like it needs a new wick. It sparks and is filled with fuel it can only be a wick problem.

I voted yes, well as much as possible. He is a border collie so is built for long walks in the hills and is relatively good when he has to sleep in a tent. he has a brilliant nature and doesnt even chase sheep! I wouldnt be without him.

Merry Christmas to one and all and to one and all a merry Christmas. Oh and a happy new year!

I heard this when i was in the scouts years ago. I have tried it a couple of times and it does work!

I may sound a bit silly but I haven't come across any leaches. Not any attached to me anyhow, but how exactly do you remove a leach? Crazy little buggers by the looks of it.:eek:

I have had my 2ltr platy for about 7 years and have had no problems at all and it has had some abuse over those years. I have boiled it in a pot to sterilize it and have filled it with hot water to make a hot water bottle on numerous occasions. They're great! I have used a solution of bicarb...

Good stuff. I have just finished re-bottling the sloes with vodka to make an interesting liquor for the new year. Should be a good un!

Just thought I would show off my BCUK inspired christmas pressies. So hopefully some pics of my bottled sloe gin and bath fizzies are below. Many thanks to B Red for his tutorials! So any of you made anything to give to your loved ones this Crimbo? Phil

Wow a house invasion! I have seen lots of these in my garden the slugs i mean. I found one balanced on the edge of my dogs bowl just sitting along the rim. So from that we can conclude that leopard slugs have a good sex life, an excellent coat and a balance that would do well in the circus.

Havent listened to them in a while but Afrocelt Sound System are superb. A blend of music styles and very atmospheric.

"I stuck my finger in the woodpeckers hole........" Maybe not. :) Iron Maiden - Fear of the dark. The Mod Father - wild wild wood. Billy Joel - We didn't start the fire. and anything by Kate BUSH :lmao: Phil.
