I've never been THAT cold!

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

We have a garage connected to the house and we have the condensation clothes dryer in there, and I must say that when the dryer is running for about
an hour it's comfy inside, smells a bit, but it's comfy and your laundry is dry  Talking about efficiency  And SWIMBO is happy

02GF74 - I like the recycled element of this and particularly the EXUP valve you have incorporated into the flue!

I use a pair of builders halogen lights, after 10mins it's toasty.

That HotPod thing is just a joke... I'm currently looking at getting a multi-fuel burner installed in my house, and the top-of-the-range stoves
are £1,500. A 'proper' 6KW stove can easily be bought for around £550 - big brand name, spares readily available, good customer service.
I wonder if that £2,500 jobbie has such good backup.
The commercial versions also quote 75% efficiency, rather than the HotPod's 47.6%.
It's novelty value, no more, no less.

I find a smoldering chav keeps the garage warm for hours.
