i think i only used the 3rd oven to dry wood occasionally in an emergency, and door was open a range can give loads of excess heat not used for cooking, main inside wood box is a few feet away, no fire risk but its warmed to help dry out, any outide wood in winter can get some moisture from...

It does depend where you get it from. i get most of mine from longleat forestry, its done by weight on a weighbridge. £173/tonne , a tonne is about 2m3 or 2.5 builders bags, they ahve kiln dried for hobby fires etc, but vastly more expensive, and your paying for a gas kiln so kind of defeats...

a variety of wood is good, as sometimes you need to get a good blast of heat going, lots of variables, draughts, wind conditions, pressure, often we have softwood, and even punky wood, anything burnable. reminds me of the blast of heat in the steamengine in back to the future part 3, with the...

i tend to skip the cooking bits as well, both for Kent survival and corporals corner, the latter is ok for the shelter bits, but the food is just heart attack on a plate, and the bits where he gushes about his son is cringy and annoying.

Bjorn got way to political and odd, bit too Glastonbury for my liking....
