I already have a multifuel burner in the house, I can't cook on it as it's inset. ( not my choice) I plan to use it more this winter, for heating, but I'm concerned as apart from the work needed , carrying logs, coal, ashes etc, coal (maxibrite) has gone up in price to the point where I can only get 4 bags, where I used to get 6. I'm still waiting for a sniff of the logstore my h/a promised me "by july" us now being halfway into the month.Hi there. Just noticed your above post. I fully understand the medical limitations. For me, its both hips and first one in 2003 wasn't done properly and I suffer daily. I keep one of those small gardening kneeling foam rectangles indoors for when I need to 'get down'. So I really appreciated Victor Meldrew's joke when he said, you have to consider what else you need to do while your down there.
Anyway, the Outbacker. Excellent bit of kit heavy though. I bought the 22.5 degree Stainless flue connections so I can attach and use the stove indoors at a push and the diverted flue goes out the back door/window.
Plenty of excuses..staff off sick with covid, can't find the work order, etc.
The plan for the outbacker is to use it for cooking, boiling water in a power cut. As such, I will use it outdoors, with a tarp shelter. I plan to make a platform out of bricks and an old bit of kitchen counter top, with the firemat on top of the platform for safety. This will bring it up to a workable height with any luck.
I have a good area just outside the back door so should be fine, I have the bricks, and hazel poles for the tarp shelter all ready and waiting.
I'm waiting on a new knee or two!
