Same as monkey says.
I’ve built mine with pallets open at the front,and with a tin roof on.
All freebies @John j

 

[John j]

You all got multi burner

 

[essexandy]

@John j mine is closed three sides and the logs do just fine. The idea of building one from pallets sounds good to me.

Yes two of them only 5 kw but they do throw the heat out .
In one room it’s got a vaulted ceiling up to the main roof and it’s good enough for that.
Didn’t want an air brick .

He'll only put one log in at time.

I don’t was told they need to run mostly hot all the time or they start to clog the flue!

Especially if you burn to much pine.
John will stick with either one log, one lump of stolen coal or a load of rolled up free local papers.

What size is your room John? I’ve got a 5kw multi stove My room dimensions 4.8m x 4.5m then a bay window on top of that and it gets very hot even when it’s closed down. Like Tom said anything over 5kw and you’ll need air vent.
Here’s my log stores that I knocked up with buck shee timber and pallets, you’ll need a few to rotate drying.

All those poor Asthma sufferers are going to be suffering...every f**ker I know is getting one of these installed to save on energy cost. Some are burning trash. BJ can kiss his climate change targets goodbye we will be like Shanghai in 10 years.

My dad has one similar. Works a treat. Would definitely make one if you have the pallets available. Just need a cover to stop the rain. My uncle has a massive log store on his property. Similar to a gazebo in shape. Roughly 4 x 4 metres of a canopy roof on 4 big legs. All 4 sides are open for air flow

Has anyone used that vistas heat resistant stuff? We had to plaster an entire 20m wall at 35mm because they wanted the finish flush with the fireplace
Omfg it’s like using concrete the aggregate is massive try ruling it lol, once it was on the next day it’s pretty much like spar the amount of chipping sticking out and it sets absolutely solid you can’t just scrape it back nicely for skim, we tried anyway and used the finish and it looked terrible the painters refused to paint it haha, so we ended up reskimming it with multi completely defeating the point of it

Yes mate been there, the skim is like floor levelling compound. Takes forever to set and cant get a decent finish, i wont go near it now!

I used to get a chimney sweep for the first couple of years £50 a sweep then thought b*ll***s bought a kit online for about £60 do mine then my dad’s I just use a cordless drill. But it’s worth buying the cover for the door saves a lot of mess.
Not rocket science.
