Awesome CGI, Spielberg would be proud.
Are you going for a black or stainless/chrome flue?
With the heat output of that stove you might want to rethink your table placement!
We've had a smaller purevision cpv5 for 3 years or so now and it's been fantastic. The active baffle really helps if you have a cold column in the flue and also prevents any smoke from coming into the room when you open the door.Amazing stoves, only had chance to fit few due to the cost, but it does come with active baffle and multifuel. Just make sure you familiarise yourself with the active baffle, as only purevision stoves have these.

Fantastic stove, easy to use and efficient. Good upgrade @{SAS}TB. The ceramic bricks really retain heat for a long time too. The only issue we've had is the top of ours is heavily textured so not great for a stove fan. I'm thinking of trying a thermal pad or similar.

Yes. I use them and they work well, cheap from various places too! Tend to get away with using 1 block on ours on paper & kindling with a light and dry log on top. With 'less dry' logs or stuff with bark on I'll generally use more kindling and be aiming to be burning that for 10-15 mins before the log will even light (needing more heat).Can you use the BBQ style firelighters, the white powder like blocks? Got a few of those as well.
Bloke I buy logs from said he was selling best quality 'builders bags' (£100) of logs to a guy who breaks them up for kindling, who is then putting into bags and selling '2-3 logs' worth on Amazon for £10 for people to burn in their fire pits. Built up a business for himself over Covid when he was made redundant! Crazy the money people will pay for convenience!Those BBQ firelighters are 90p a box of 20 or £1.50 for 40. - I just buy them in summer while they are cheap and have about 15 boxes in shed.
There is a bloke up road who is selling bags of sticks for about £1.50 but it's easy to do your own - if you see a bit of wood on your travels just stop and pick it up or if in a skip stop and ask -Any old piece of dry timber will do the job.
Looks fantastic! Which was is that & where from?

Boxes we're currently on, I think from 'Home Bargain' 48 blocks in a box and '2 boxes for £2'. Very inexpensive compared to most mentioned above...

See more and more skips sat on drives these days now too, so good tip. Have been meaning to catch my neighbour as he's got a skip with 2-3 old broken pallets in it. Going to ask if I can swap them for a couple of buckets of stones (from the garden veg patch I dug) and brick rubble from the re-pointing I'm doing!

That massively depends ...Hi all,
Some random bloke is offering us 2 ton(ne)? of logs for £130. Scam? I have no idea "how much" that actually is. Please help!
Hi all,
No further progress on logs as I realised I have no where "proper" to store them.
I can definitely knock together a log store of my own making, but is there any plans available online that folk have used?
Fiskars x25/x27 should be just the job and should do all but the toughest of logs - love mineCan't decide between an axe, maul, or a wedge for splitting oak logs.
Got a small axe that I use for camping that's only good for kindling.
