Yeah I have seen that video before, he does some really interesting things that guy. I was sort of waiting to see if he rebuilt it before I committed to such a design šŸ˜‚. Happened to another rocket stove design I had my eye on and sometimes these masonry stoves can be a bit awkward to get right. Will have to rewatch though, thanks.

Yeah I have been stacking the firebricks I was going to use as in a rocker stove riser around the woodstove and flue pipe. It works pretty well but I would like to reduce the amount of wood I need in the future primarily due to lack of wood storage space, so perhaps I will go to something like this in the future.

This guy keeps chipping away at this project and it looks better all the time.

I love all the work Paul Wheaton does with rocket stoves and heaters but sometimes the foot print for those things are enormous and awkward to retrofit into smaller spaces. So I ended up just putting a conventional wood stove in the shed. Perhaps something similar to this with a small mass this could work well in such a space as well as in an outdoor kitchen.

Yeah I have one but anyway luckily where I live in the U.K we don't do a lot of it. Its pretty much just Birmingham and a couple of other cities where its added. Though even and now and then there are suggestions to expand it, so I like to keep up to date on things.

Thanks for the honest discussion but I disagree.

For me that's like saying we should carry on plastering the wall while the underlying wooden structure is rotten, makes no sense at all to me, but you and others are welcome to persist in the folly.

It does both the things I mentioned. In some ways its quite similar to Chorine at a small level it does not interfere greatly with the macro process but will inhibit it. Things will eventually ferment still and horses wont get fluorosis at the right levels but what happens when they accidently add too much (those things do happen) and what are the cumulative effects over a lifetime?

Unlike Chlorine (typically linked to bladder cancer) which is easily filtered out by low cost Carbon, Fluoride doesn't and Calcium Fluoride is not the same molecule as the Sodium Fluoride they add to the supply. As you keep reminding us its only been 75 years in the US.. .that's not even a full human lifetime to evaluate it. You also have to take into account with the yeast and microbes these things also live in us. So while some of these yeast may only be inhibited in large vat for producing alcohol, what's that doing inside us where levels would never be as high? I would prefer the precautionary principle in this case.

Out of curiosity would you also defend adding Lithium to the water supply? Because believe it or not people have suggested that to stop people killing themselves! Surely that more important than teeth right?!

Its a pain in the arse to remove if you don't want it (RO or expensive filters that don't completely get it all out) and it's in mouthwash toothpaste already if you do want it. It also has effects for people using municipal water for other things where they also don't want it for example perhaps for animals and brewing.

Also if you read Weston A Price "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration: A Comparison of Primitive and Modern Diets and Their Effects" it becomes pretty clear modern dietary habits are the cause of modern dental woes. Mass fluoridation might help the teeth in some cases but doesn't fix the key problem and causes issues elsewhere so the idea of applying it to everyone's water is just bonkers..

If we zap them will they implode from thier own self hatred of owning some Bitcoin?- Which as we all know is ruining the environment by eating all the whales in the sea.

True or they will probably have to make an exemption for historical stuff. So we they will have good Nazi propaganda Vs bad Nazi propaganda šŸ˜‚ I don't think even Goebbels could even come up with that 🤣

So they are planning on making watching 'triumph of the will'- a film I watched in history class at school illegal? šŸ˜‚

If there is someone you want in charge of the borders its probably someone who looks like they worked as a bouncer

Sadly I have noticed much the same thing. Hopefully there will be more places which you can pay in bitcoin that's almost a guarantee of it being seed oil free!

Yeah luckily I had a third tool available! I tend to use the bronze spade for everything because its lighter, long handled and sharp edged so its more ergonomic. It breaks from time to time buts its pretty easy to fix too.

I should have stayed at home, it's turning into one of those days šŸ˜‚

Every now and again, I wonder what the hell I am doing šŸ˜‚

Alan Moore loves that film šŸ˜†

What Moore found most laughable however were the details. "They don't know what British people have for breakfast, they couldn't be bothered. 'Eggy in a basket' apparently. Now the US have 'eggs in a basket,' whish is fried bread with a fried egg in a hole in the middle. I guess they thought we must eat that as well, and thought 'eggy in a basket' was a quaint and Olde Worlde version. And they decided that the British postal service is called Fedco. They'll have thought something like, 'well, what's a British version of FedEx... how about FedCo? A friend of mine had to point out to them that the Fed, in FedEx comes from 'Federal Express.' America is a federal republic, Britain is not."
