Its a hard life

yeah i thought it would prob be cheaper. thanks anyway

due to smaller ventilation holes to the top, plus the top section being an insulated flue the absolute max i would expect coming out of the enclosure is 60C and could possibly be only 50C. id rather have metal pipe from the enclosure down to the fans but it shouldnt be that hot that i need to keep it away from timber etc... as always i test very thoroughly and i will know the actual temp next days off and build it with a higher than actual temp spec in mind

just found stratco sells zinc downpipes in 10 different sizes including 100mm. i dare say it will be pretty cheap as its so thin 0.4 or 0.5mm

cheers, a rough price on mst 4" would be good thanks. no idea how much i need yet but say 20metres at a guess

technically it could be bigger than 100mm, i have already fitted one of the motors into an enclosure with 100mm in/out which i could step up to another size

when i tested last season the enclosure temp was only 40C max. now that the bottom section isnt insulated the temp is much higher and i have to change to steel. where can i get 100mm steel pipes at a reasonable price? think gutter down pipe is only 70mm.... flue piping is probably too expensive....ideas?

quick diagram of it. the only thing that isnt complete is fitting the ducting from the ceiling enclosure to the bedrooms. i was thinking about using 100mm stormwater pipe to each room but now im after 100mm steel piping to use instead.

alright then atleast 3

C'mon man, Ash is a really nice person!!

ahhh yeah forgot you hired the 200 series

finished fitting those last 2 plates today and cranked it up tonight. 83C coming out of the vents now and it isnt at max yet. living room is going up about 1C every 30 minutes at head height which is good considering how big the room is and 4m ceiling. bit concerned using wood vent covers now... ill have to divert more air to the bedrooms and less to the living...

Did you drive all the way? Must be about 5500km if so?

So jelly. Too cold here to be swimming

Quickly!!

40C air coming out my new wall vents and the fire has only been going 20 minutes... naice!!

burn motherf*cker burn

aaaaanndddd we have fire

Xox

Agh scrap that, realised its raining tomorrow. I have to get this flue connected today before the rain. Might come next week. I'll keep in touch
