    Really? Does it have to be hooked up to the Grid to function?

    Indeed. I have a wetbacked logburner and a gravity-fed water system. Not much pressure at the best of times, but as long as there is still water being pumped to the tank on the stand (and its not frozen), it turns out I have some pressure at the worst of times.
    Still about 10 cms of snow lying around the place.

    Big tank on stand with 50mm bore gravity feed - so quite good pressure. How the fuck it stayed up in the quakes we still don't know..And yes, wetback too.

    yeah, the pellet fires need electrickery to run. Pellet feed i understand is lectric plus the fan. If I remember right my friend may have a genny now - post quakes. He seems to have no probs finding the pellets. My take on it is that it's always useful to be able to burn fallen timber - which he can't do now.

    You can't sleep in the same room as one of those bloody things.

    Whhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrr, flump, POOF!

    Every bloody 10 or 15 mins.

    Can't convince my Mother-in-law that "30" on the dial = 30% of max output either. She thinks it means 30C. Wave an ambient thermometer around the room and it reads 15-17C in weather like this. Still, she thinks it's 30C, so that's all that matters I guess.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    The difference being that one can get high on Everest without having to light up!
