Today we have lovely Louis the Lab who is nice and chilled then we have the 9 month old ‘Jack-a-poo’ who has absolutely no idea what personal space means 😂

Why Jotul make a stove with a lid that is not secure tickles my head.
They are easily knocked and just rely on the weight of the lid pressing down on a rope.
As you can see this rope was out of place so leaking smoke and gasses into the room.
They are great units for sure but perhaps avoid this older model.

Working in the North East is so taxing !
Another great day to travel.

Sometimes we forget to have our systems swept through.
This was a tad tricky to sweep with a brush so I used a power head at 3000rpm and made a huge difference, four passes later and we were good to go.
When you consider it is only £15 more for a power sweep it is well worth the extra.

Making sure the liner is kept in the best condition possible.

This customer just wanted to bring their stove up to spec before completing the house sale.

Yes having your chimney swept is important but burning the correct fuel is equally important.
This unit has been burned 24/7, using soft wood which has high resin content which is not what you want inside the stove or the flue.
The base bars were all out of position so a good strip down and rebuild was in order.
Swept and serviced and rope seal around flue replaced.
