Show us your in home winter camp fire

Here is our new wood burner. Hope to get it installed in a few weeks. First have to lay the solid maple flooring, then add the plate glass hearth before returning the wood burner to position, ready for the flue system.
Should put out approx 8kw heat with an efficiency of 78% - both a bit of bling, but also functional.

Ours is a Kent too, but a bit smaller than a Jindabyne, I think it was called a New Englander. Sits in the middle of the home about 6' from the return air of the ducted AC. Get the fire going, room hot then put the AC on fan and crack open both zones and the whole house is warm.

By the way, anyone thinking of putting in a transfer system, use insulated duct and pick a fan with enough air flow to push the bedroom door closed from about 2" open, otherwise not enough air flow.

Thanks for the tip. Been thinking about installing a transfer system for a while.

I thought I would get heaps of comments about my fire tray, or ash catch tray.

Hi Brumbypt, I did notice it but was trying not to overpost on this thread, instead let others post there's as you did.  I like the idea of being able to dry wet wood out on it before throwing it in, plus having something to catch the bark, splinters and ash would save lots of swmbo sweep up time.  Any chance of a slightly better pic?

I wanted this model, but I am overruled as it was too expensive and not big enough.......
Will get a Regency Alterra.

Here is my inside fire place, I bought and installed this in 1988 and has been used every winter since.

 

MASPORT-  FATSO Pot belly stove all fired up for the first time this year.

One advantage of this style stove/fire place is that you can cook on it as well as get the warmth, I often will have a stew cooking on top as well as a kettle, save on power during the winter months.

cheers duggie

Here's ours on it's toughened glass hearth.
The installer refused to put the fireplace in position until we'd gone around the base with something to protect the glass.
Couldn't get any pinchweld, so slit some 4mm irrigation hose and used that instead

11 square house and a fire place for a 25 square house.. hmmm toasty..

Dont get them smaller, cos the wood has to be cut smaller..


Note the tray in the front, that is fire tray ver 2, leant out the ver 1 to friends.
the tray catches all the ash  (cos ultimate fire places are prone to drop a bit of ash) and it catches the logs that roll out when I have loaded it up and left the door clipped.

also gives you a place to throw a wrapper etc during the day, or some sticks etc when starting the fire and you can only get on your knees once.

We have an old metal dust pan in it for scooping the stuff back into the fire.

Anyway, make one yourself.

That's a pic of a mix of good old Actors of the great western era  not out of any one movie  , Where ever u sit in my lounge room the duke always seems to be keepin a eye on u used to haunt the Shite out of my kids LOL

Here's our heating... no gas here!  Love our Eureka dual sided heater, as it's located in the middle of the house and heats really well.  Wood's just fallen trees from around the farm, split down the paddock with the tractor splitter, loaded into sections of old flood irrigation fluming, and dropped of at the house.

I do like the idea it is just that is where my feet go

Heres our outdoor fireplace under the pergola, were we can watch tv or just sit outside and enjoy the fire with a beer or two.

[Meken]

Here's ours - chiminees phillipe - made in France. 3 glass sides, the 2 long sides both swing open & also slide up inside the wall completely so it becomes a double sided open fire - it's really cool. Good for 300 odd m2 heats our living dining kitchen in about 1/2 hour from cold. Uses convection with vents at the top of the wall which blast hot air out into the room (no fan but it feels like there is )
.... Yes that's marble covering the solid concrete hearth (the firebox alone weighs 250kg - cast iron not plate)

Not exactly a home fireplace, but our pit we use when we feel the vibe... Coreton (spelling ?) steel, designed to rust with age, looks awesome all fired up.



Would love a wood heater like the ones in this thread, when we enclose the pergola i just might spoil the misses, she's always wanted one.

and she out herself there, I didnt encourage her to sit there for the photo either.

and you need to stand a foot away from the fire place so the tray wont get in the way of where you stand.

yep, saw one of these in the pub at Glenrowan.  Seemed to work ok and no big chunks of timber laying around. Just a bag of wheat in the corner.
