All Stoved Up!

Further to last week's post, we are now fully fitted with our new wood-burning stove.


The workmen arrived quite early and proceeded to get on with lining the chimney with the required flexible liner - here seen poking out of the top of the chimney pot.








This seemed to go relatively smoothly, although there was a little shouting down the chimney at one point . . .



The stove itself is a Harmony 23 multifuel model - we haven't lit it yet, as the sealant used needs 24 hours to 'cure', although it's dismal enough outside to merit it! If it stays wet and cool over the weekend, may fire it up then - it needs a good 'burn' to start with apparently, as the surface blacking may give off fumes when first heated through.



It looks good anyway, and hopefully will keep us nice and warm in due course!
