Out of 8 seasons of hand fired use, I had 3 seasons of 1 match club.. Could've been more, but because of equipment failures (busted grates.. ECT) I would be forced to shut down and fix things..
Drafting wasn't a problem once the warm found it's way up the chimney, that would only take a couple minutes starting with 0 on the manometer.

To true Fred , Daughter and son in law have just bought there first house , needs quite a lot of work doing on it , Fi has volunteered me to help out with the renovations ( thanks Fi ) , so looks like I will be at least 3 months putting in a new bathroom, kitchen etc . Thought retirement was supposed to be taking it easy ????
