Just look skywards instead of on the floor. There is invariably stuff suspended that is relatively dry and useable as firewood.

Agreed.................................

Really good pics Rebecca - just don't show them to Martin! Thanks to one and all for the weekend, it was good to catch up. Thanks in particular to Phil for organising, Steve for bringing the wood and Martin for the tarp. Hope to see you all in November.

See you all Saturday morning

Make sure the flue damper is always left open and never close the door fully because then you will cut off all oxygen.

I should be able to make it.

yes I use a small light in my Shangri la but this is a much bigger space and I want good light. I'm tempted by the gas canister lamp.

Saw one of those in Millets today. Maybe it is the answer..

That looks interesting, thanks Julia. I could just get several camping lanterns but it would be good to find something that kicks out a lot of light.

Thanks for your help folks, food for thought... Does anyone use hurricane lamps or the like?
