You get an advent calendar??

Ahem, now called a countdown calendar by some.

It's fascinating how customs change over the years

Blaze up bright and do not last"

Also aquired... A friend recommended Rawlplug R Kem 2 for bolting into concrete. Couldnt find my cheapy sealant gun and toolstation showed this heavy duty thing. Looks a lot better I thought. It was listed as unbranded and orange. When the guy handed over a silverline I almost rejected it!

Luckily I checked it when I got to the car. Note the issue.. the plunger at 54mm dia is a larger diameter than the tube of 47mm ID. However I decided it could be modified and kept it, which meant picking up another £7 cheapy for the current task.

The nose is also a bit small and will open up with die grinder. Lastly the body is slightly short, perhaps not an issue if the plunger fit properly

Are there any tubes that actually need a 54mm plunger?

Joined the diesel heater club



Chubby box format, was £75, had loads of issue with Aliexpress so went amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D91XW8T7?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
200cm of exhaust and 200cm air pipe for £20 on order so probably early Jan to site and install but will be running it up at weekend to make sure.

Interested to know what the real heat output of this thing ^^^^ is. Diesel's energy density is about 10kWh per litre, and the claimed fuel usage of the heater is 0.1 to 0.24 litres/hr, so I make that 1kW to 2.4kW, so nowhere near the 8kW claimed.

My Christmas present to myself, has just arrived this morning.

My control panel including the automatic THC module and matching Z axis unit.

I already have the remote control unit, power supply, most of the metal for the frame and 3D printed mounts/brackets required.

Now just need to order the stepper motors, motor controllers and drive delts, after Christmas, then I believe I can start building my plasma table........

Next years going to be fun, a learning curve and hopefully fruitful......

Its free and it burns!

Keeps you warm twice!

Ive got the "8kw" version and its certainly no where near that but wasnt expecting it to be
Easy quick heat for a smallish space though
