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.

Synio Stove Fan
Overview The project started when I installed a multi fuel log burner, I was dissatisfied with the output of heat compared with my traditional open fire. I researched how to increase the output of heat and came across stove fans. I researched the market but struggled to find a fan to fit under...
