    Hi there Simon, I only have the one wood burner and it is the one boyz toy I could not do without. I found the glass tip off the internet searching an American site on how to make the most from your wood burner....

    I have another good tip for you too but this one will cost you money....

    My wood burner is in the lounge with an ordinary UK builders opening ..( chimney / fire place size ) for the peep`s who don`t know soooooo not too much room in there with the wood burner any how here is my tip...

    My wood burner has a bottom and back shield to stop losing heat where you don`t want too... I got the internet site and the place is on the wells road.... but I bought two cast iron fire backs to go either side of the inside of the fireplace ( I drilled the bottom and put 4 inch high legs on them to make them higher to catch more heat ). Any way they weigh about 39 kg each so your heating up an extra 171.6 pounds of cast iron which in turn radiates heat and stops heat lose into the side of the chimney but... they cost about £130.00P each but I recon it saves me over an hours worth of wood every time I use it and it keeps the room warmer for longer ..... and all that extra heat you are getting would be wasted by going into the side of your chimney breast.....Phil..

    Some more Top Tips ....

    Save a fortune on laundry bills. Give your dirty shirts to Oxfam. They
    will wash and iron them and you can then buy them back for 50p.

    Why not pop a few tea bags in your hot water tank and you can make a
    hot cuppa anytime by just turning on the tap.

    Use exterior wood stain as a fast, long-lasting and attractive alternative
    to sun-bed treatments.

    Always keep a pound of lard in your pocket so that if you get your
    head stuck in railings you'll be able to grease your ears and slide out.

    I guess if it throws out more heat, it's a good idea...Don't like the cost though haha!
    I throw all types of wood in it, sometimes it dosen't give out much heat, lf it's damp. (I know you're not supposed to put damp wood in , but everyone does).
    They are lovely, but they are hard work.

    Thanks for your v message by the way.

    Have you had that saucepan removed from your head yet?...Get down that hospital now!
