For pallets you are better off with a manual pallet breaker. They are typically full of nails and hitting them will rapidly blunt your chainsaw blades.Anyone got any recommendations for a chainsaw. I’ve got some pallets and a lot of off bits of timber that need cutting up and I’m unsure whether to go electric, battery and what size? Budget is only around £100, I’ve tried a 4” battery handheld and while good it made quite hard work of some thicker bits of wood.
I’ll have a read of this thread that I did t know existed but it’s a good read!
The log burner ones work off contact / peltier - not seen one for open fires ....Has anyone got a lead on a stove fan that will work with an open fire? I'll do some Amazon'ing later.

The granite got quite warm when I used the fire Monday, and the front bars get molten. Not sure how they work in terms of heat transfer - does it need to be contact heat, or do they work just sat in front of something hot? Perhaps one that clamps to the front grill would work well? Or is it stupid and it'd just pull smoke into the house?
Yep look for HT stamped on them and avoid PT ones.Also make sure they are hear treated and not painted / stained / full of oreservao
