    Hi Guys,
    Absolutely loving the channel and the reviews, really like the new format where you are giving marks out of 10 for each instance, i think this is a really good move, it makes it so much more easier for the layman.
    Great work, keep it up.
    kind regards

    In one of your other videos that I watched you seem to be saying that really you needed to make a choice between multifuel and Wood, and if you’re going to burn mostly wood, then you need to get one that is just a woodstove, but you seem to be contradicting yourself a little bit with this multifuel stove as I’ve now discovered it is?

    Loving your vid but you need to make more! Need advice again Garbriel, what are your thoughts on compressed logs ? As these can be free from manufacturers like kitchen and bathroom fitters. Wood you do a vid on various types o fuel you recommend, whether beech, ash or oak is better ?

    • @TheTortoise
      @TheTortoise  Рік тому +1

      Okay I’ll have a look. I like the idea of free, but generally those compressed logs tend to either produce tons of ash, or burn way too fast and hot (sometimes both). You have to be cautious with them, but free sounds like good motivation for a little more care and perhaps emptying the ash a little more often.

    • @TheTortoise
      @TheTortoise  10 місяців тому +1

      I think this stove will be significantly better than the Deben. I haven’t looked at it closely yet, given what I can see, I expect it to be a much more paired back simple stove. I won’t know too much till I have a go with one, but we’ll wait and see. I think this is quite a new addition so no one will know too much yet.

    Hi guys brilliant channel.
    I'm assuming the direct/fresh air version means it takes outside air via a vent?
    I've seen fresh air kit options for other stoves, how does this affect the performance of the stove when air is taken from outside? Any drawbacks or major benefits?

    • @TheTortoise

      This video may be helpful, it also has a tag half way through, which links to another related video:
      ua-cam.com/video/gurO0H_Mzic/v-deo.html
      I don’t tend to think there is a benefit worth chasing. I generally think of vents etc as a solution to a problem, but they do need to be handled carefully (as you’ll hear in the video, sometimes vents can make an issue worse rather than better).

      It depends what you’re burning, but assuming it’s wood then the Aduro was superb. The only issue is they’ve now sadly stopped making it.

    • @TheTortoise
      @TheTortoise  Рік тому +1

      Given those options if you’re burning wood then I would stick to Heta without a doubt. The Ambition stoves are trickier to use, but will put perform almost anything else, including coal.
      If you’re burning coal based fuel then I would focus on the other 2. The Saltfire STx is great for this and is often a lower price than the equivalent Stovax, their performance is also pretty similar.

    Quick question, not sure if you’ve covered this in any other videos, can I ask if you used seasoned wood or Kiln dried wood in your videos? Also hardwood or softwood? The flames are fantastic. Would be great to have an insiders take on all things wood if you’re ever thinking of doing a video. Thanks again mate, really love ‘The Tortoise’ channel 👍

    • @TheTortoise

      I use kiln dried ash to keep things consistent it all comes from the same place, and they only sell kiln dried ash. That would be a useful video, I’ve been thinking about it and how to film it.

      I will have a think about it, but as you say it needs a bit of thought. For me the key thing would be getting the video short enough so that people could get the key information without too much effort. I’m a big believer that if you understand something properly you should be able to explain it in simple terms, so I’d want it to be fairly simple and quick. 🤔

      @@TheTortoise in that case there’s probably a few different elements resulting in different videos explaining each point. 1, Types of wood, hard/soft what burns best heat, time etc. 2, the differences between green, seasoned, kiln dried versus cost. 3 wood storage, size, splitting etc.. there’s a lot of importance and things to understand regarding wood (fuel) that is very often over looked. I’m currently researching this and what’s the best flame for buck, hardwood vs softwood is another one, loads to go at, as you mentioned break it down into smaller pieces, a bit like splitting logs 😉👍
