    No problems. I should have put down "a wanna be" in front of it. :D

    Wood burning smell from the firepit in the garden

    I love the smell of wood fire. The noise and warmth from the old wood stove is calming and takes us back into the good old days. :) But I know what you mean. If the wrong fuel is burnt in wrong set up, then it could give out bad stench, which is not nice. My neighbor was not even complaining...

    Wood burning smell from the firepit in the garden

    Yeah, we have other things to drop off to the skip as well, such as old paints etc. We are going to take the garden waste as well at the same time. Just wondered how other folks might deal with the possible problems with the issue, when so many chimineas and garden firepits are selling like...

    Wood burning smell from the firepit in the garden

    Never said putting washing out was anti social. We do as well. There are many things they have done which are truly anti social, but we never said a word, but kept on living quietly out of respect and for neighborly harmony. I am not going to list the details here.

    Wood burning smell from the firepit in the garden

    You made a good point regarding "all about respect". But respect only makes sense when it is in mutual terms. If you demand respect from the other party while you give no respect to anyone else, then you are demanding others to live under your law, and no one will take you seriously.

    Wood burning smell from the firepit in the garden

    We have to pay for the garden waste bin lifting service here. Even if we pay, we get only 1 bin, and it gets lifted only once per every 4 weeks. So it may not be adequate to clear the garden wastes in short period of time. We are planning to move house to somewhere more rural and countryside...

    Not from my experience either. Aren't chimineas made for burning woods?

    Wood burning smell from the firepit in the garden

    We use charcoals in BBQ. But in the firepit and wood stove, the tree logs, cut branches and twigs are used. We use the the dried ones first. The garden clearance work has started last year, and has piles of dried logs in the corner now. Fine on stumparies. They certainly look cool and...

    Wood burning smell from the firepit in the garden

    No complaints yet. But this year I have been clearing the over-grown garden, and have been burning more garden twigs, branches and logs in the garden firepit. This situation made us have more BBQs as well. We still have mountains of over-grown garden plants dug up, and piled in the middle of...

    Wood burning smell from the firepit in the garden

    Can wood burning smell from garden firepit problem to the neighbors, if they don't like the smell or want to put up washing in their garden? With the number of garden chimneas, BBQs and firepits being sold these days, many folks do BBQs, burn firepits, have wood fires in chimneas in their...

    YOYTi. (Why titanium?)

    I see. Yes, I can imagine it. SS cutlery is the best I feel. My Titanium chopsticks get hot trying to burn my hand off when it is whisking the boiling hot the instant noodle. I usually change over to the wooden chopsticks for the hot food.

    Bungee cords

    Are bungee cords useful? When there was strong wind a few days ago, my tarp and tent set up in the garden patio was taking severe battering. At one moment, the tent was shifting from where it was, and was going to fly away by the wind. The wind was about 50 - 60 miles per hour. I had to take...

    YOYTi. (Why titanium?)

    I tried a spork for buttering toasts, but it didn't work at all. The butter kept escaping via the spork prongs refusing to stay and spread on the toast. So, when buttering toasts, you need a proper butter knife.

    Running DIY WoodStove over night in a small cabin & safety issues

    Diameter of the flues will have to be taken into consideration as well suppose. And yes, I recall seeing some folks heating up the flues with a torch when starting the woodstoves.
