If you think it's a lot of work to get your stove ready for the next heating season, how about one of these coal stoves. :D

Paul, I enjoyed watching that video, thanks for sharing.
Interesting how those two men backed into the firebox, if it were me I don't think I could get used to that like they seemed to be.
The names of the job roles seemed too specific, such as 'firelighter'.
I have heard of a boilermaker many times, but I think I heard them use the word 'boilersmith' in describing one persons job role. I do not recall having heard that word, neither did I find it in the dictionary I use.

Don't forget that's a British film. The British use different names for many things, than what we use.
A friend from London and I spent many hours comparing differences in terms whenever he would visit.

Like the old saying about "Yanks" and "Brits", "Two peoples separated by a common language." :lol:
