Title: Advert sites online
Post by: Penninehillbilly on December 28, 2016, 07:35:57 pm
Hi
We are looking for a small Woodburner for an outhouse, been looking for online S/H sites but can't find anything. Looked at Ebay, preloved,  free ads and Friday-ad.
Just thought of gumtree so will look there now, but can anyone suggest any more sites.
He may  buy a new one if below £100.

Try your local FB groups, always something on there or on freecycle?
Hope this helps :)

Looking for a small S/H one, only wanting a few kW,  its only for a shed, there are some new ones, but collect only and too far away.
OH heard of a friend getting one cheap on a site, he's sure we'll get one as well  ::).

Thanks,
He'd rulled machine mart out, said they were too flimsy (he's a heating engineer), but when he looked he was looking at one for the house, just looked onine and I like one so we may go and have a look. Lot dearer than he wants to pay, but anything to keep me quiet  ;D

Dragon Driving is an interesting site (had a good wander round looking at other things), but nothing suitable just now.

My friend has a "Prity" stove, that was basic and cheap. They're made from bent / welded sheets, rather than cast iron of course. Being honest, it's not a patch on our Dunsley stove, but it works just fine, and has lasted well under daily use.The basic models start at around £200 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-9-kw-Multi-Fuel-Wood-Burning-Stove-Woodburning-Black-Modern-Prity-K1-/112244307342?hash=item1a2248358e:g:CswAAOSwo4pYWvSH).

Failing that, how's your welding (http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/gas-bottle-stove-with-character.11556/)?  :)

you can make one out a gas bottle if funds are tight  (do try not to blow yourself up cutting it open though) http://www.instructables.com/id/Gas-Bottle-Wood-Burner/ (http://www.instructables.com/id/Gas-Bottle-Wood-Burner/)

If you prefer not to risk it you can also buy them ready converted on ebay for fifty quid http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/322350457268?lpid=122&chn=ps&adgroupid=13585920426&rlsatarget=aud-133395220866%3Apla-75952154106&adtype=pla&poi=&googleloc=9045334&device=c&campaignid=207297426&crdt=0 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/322350457268?lpid=122&chn=ps&adgroupid=13585920426&rlsatarget=aud-133395220866%3Apla-75952154106&adtype=pla&poi=&googleloc=9045334&device=c&campaignid=207297426&crdt=0)

Sorted  :). Machine Mart, Thames Barge Stove. Had a slight mark on it so reduced to £173. I know I said under £100, but brand new, had a good look before paying, rather than hoping the online pic was true :-).
Looking forward to getting it in, weighs 50kg and we have to get through a muddy patch, should be interesting  ::)

At 50kg, you should be able to put some boards down and just 'walk' it along on two legs. Another way would be to sit the stove on a sheet of ply, cover the muddy bits with planks and then roller it in. If you cut some big thick rollers out of an old round fencepost, they'll handle rough ground better.

Both our old and new range cookers weighed over 200kg, but two of us managed to move them in and out without too much bother, and in similar circumstances (Full details on this thread (http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/index.php?topic=53644.msg)  :) ).

Thanks Womble, now you mention it boarding is the obvious solution. We do have a good sackcart,  (it moved the concrete garage sections which make the 'shed'), so it will work out OK in daylight :-).

We have bought two multi-fuel burners in the last 5 years (for two different properties) paid less than £500 each delivered. from a company in Scotland.  They are made from original cast iron (not reused iron) and have been very impressed with them  I think they are called Country Kilns in Kilmarnock.  They do quite small ones.

At 50 kg two people could probably just pick it up - run a couple of cargo straps under it to give hand holds if needed

It was the muddy patch I was worried about, if the sack cart couldn't get through I had visions of slipping and a 50kg stove landing on top of me, Wombles suggestion of boarding relieves me of that worry.
Been busy finishing the door today, then should be secure. Looked in and he has so much of HIS stuff in there that there is no chance of getting it in yet, frustrating, i want to see it running :-).
Not sure he knows this yet, and not telling him till its finished, but he will be BANNED! It will be the only place I'll have a chance to keep tidy. (Well, relatively  ;).  And have to be nice to him till the flue is finished  ;)
Might even put an armchair in there. Now I'm obviously in dreamworld LOL

I'd go with lashing some poles to it and walking it like a stretcher at a mere 50Kg.
