Fire Thread! - Stoves, Wood, Axes, Chainsaws

I need one of the 'sawhorse' log stand type things for chopping on with my saw... But it also needs to fold up well enough to go into a fiesta, so needs to be fairly modular and break down pretty short to fit in when I've got a boot full of logs. Any recommendations?

Also anyone fiddled with stove fans... And I mean the 'overclockers' amungst us! ;)

Guy on Faceache 'Log Burner Chat' group is developing a fan 'Synio' which looks not much more than a big copper heatsink, with a cowling, over a peltier (which I've found on Amazon for £7) which shifts a massive amount more CFM.

Sounds like the sell price is going to be 100-150 for them so well out of my price bracket. I just wonder how hard it is to knock something together myself. I've got a basic 'Vonhaus' 3 blade stove fan but it really doesn't shift much air. My stove doesn't get crazy hot (200-250 degrees) most of the time (unless I whack a bunch of pallet splits on it maybe up to 300) but it has a lot of heat around it, I just need a way of shifting more of that heat into the room as it's a narrow chimney and the stove really sits back on the hearth so there's a lot of heat lost/wasted just sat in the space and going up through the flu plate out the chimney.
 
Thinking of getting one of these.

Supposedly makes chopping logs up a lot easier and safer.
Anyone got one ?

The sawhorses I have would be no good for you as they are about 5 foot long when folded flat.

Very interesting and a lot of work has gone in to it. I already have two stove fans and I doubt I'll replace them unless they break of course!

I use one of these

Loggers mate

Really handy and folds completely flat.
