This evening I have mostly been making a new Chimnaea!

[pepper]

Take one gas bottle cut it out a little and then make a nice little wood burner for the garden!

Not sure if that picture will work!

Anyway got it all fired up and it seems to work well, got to fit the door, make a hot plate and sort out a controllable vent system!

 

[pepper]

Meant to say Ian, that little welder is an amazing bit of kit!

James made himself a toasting fork at the same time I was cutting up the gas bottle...

Pepper your fire looks very Eco friendly. No smoke!

 

[pepper]

Get the fire hot enough and they stop smoking... Eco friendly probably not but sustainable at least as most of the wood we burn is from our farm and we re plant everything we take out.

 

[mike4gtl]

Do you have any Cambridge Oak trees?

 

[ian Stanbury]

As your and Michael and Malcolms design guru Pepper

I have to take issue with you desigh Pepper and I know that jessie 'James' felt the same...... but why didnt you leave the gas bottle in its stable vertical state - core drill the valve connection off and you already have the chimney?

As you know I have spent a life time designing thing and my chum James 'no suction ' Dyson would have have agreed with me

And Michael what is a Cambridge Oak - a clever oak that studies rocket science at Trinity College CamBarton?

 

[pepper]

Ahh well you see its all about aesthetics, (I've found some V high temperature paint in bright pink (little Piggy). More to the point, I want to build a hot plate on the top, if you used a chimney in the vertical state where would you put the hot plate?

I've been busy making the door fit, hinges, catches and tidying it up further ready for painting, I've got it all fired up right now burning the rest of the paint off.

 

[mike4gtl]

Did you buy that paint in brico depot pepper? I hear its two for one

Cambridge oak is a very fine tasting beer brewed locally in Suffolk. Made from the pine cone berries of local rare ash die back free, oak trees. The trouble is it isn't a marketed product and you can't buy it anywhere unless you know a man who has a mate on the inside.

Anyway mines a steak Haché pepper but it must be a quick one as I have 500 pistons to put on to shelves

My god Pepper

Some bar steward has, this very afternoon stolen you idea...I think your looks more rustic though..Boo bloody hoo...

Best wishes

James 'no suction' Dyson

ps Why dont you put wheels on it and you will have...

 

[pepper]

Not painted yet! Been running a fire as hot as possible to get rid of the old powder coat which isn't jest proof.

 

[pepper]

Jest? Of course I meant heat...
