must admit it would be a little more refined than that specimen,  and he thought about using an old Gas bottle , as he delivers to a place that refurbs and scraps Millions of them a year!

I did that in the first house I had in wales I used a big bottle and incorporated an hot plate and an oven (of sorts) and had it in my kitchen.

It is advisable to use a twin wall stainless steel flexi liner regardless of chimney condition as the smoke from logs contain a lot of acids which tend to eat through the mortar joints.
Also choose burner wisely. They pump out a lot of heat and it is better to run a small stove flat out than to run a medium to large on low.

I have just had a look up my flue..................waits for suitable double entendre to pop into the head............nope................nothing yet. Anyway, I can't see any tubes or pipes, so I shall presume no lining.
I can't see any bare brickwork so I am going to presume it has been lined.
What is the next step to test its suitablity?

If it's been lined it'll be a perfectly round flue. If it's square and doesn't look like brick then it probably a refectory block, flue I would seek professional advice if this is the case as these are often only designed to be used with a gas fire./heater. and are not suitable for solid fuel fires.

Can you post some pics of yer flue  :oops:

Being a bit of a geek, I've been having a quick hunt through my law books and have found this.

Excuse the techy bit.

Under the sub-section of Property, Section 4 of the Theft Act, 1968 (I know Boggert, its been superceded! I'm not that much of a dinosaur!)

Mushrooms or flowers, fruit or foilage from a plant (but not the plant itself) growing wild cannot be stolen unless for reward, sale or commercial use.

I would suggest that fallen wood comes into that category, on public land, tresspass being a totally different thing.
I'm not picking it, cutting it, uprooting it or destroying the entire plant. It  is not being done for commercial gain, reward or to be sold. :?

I shall make more enquiries.

Just use one of your works vehicles, no-one will ask about your actions.

[Lord Shagg-Pyle]

That's not a bad idea! I could get a piccy taken and sent it to the Daily Mail with the title
'Due to tight fisted Labour Government not sticking to their promises over Police pay, Police Officers are now forced to forage for firewood to heat their homes and catch squirrels to feed themselves. One Hampshire officer told our reporter "What pay dispute? I do this anyway! You fancy some hedgehog en croute?.

You mean jerked?

[Bishops Finger]

No not the full jerk experience..just a bit of sauce

It looks like you have one of these flues http://www.dunbrik.co.uk/documents/dunbrik_price_list.pdf See page 8.

But I would have an inspection done as there is also a gas flue which looks  similar. and isn't suitable for solid fuel stoves/open fires. Also it could do with sweeping.
