Nicely done Woody and you've reminded me I have one of those out in the shop that I need to make a chimney for... Could the next video be how and why the chimney is set up? ;)
@@cumbrianhomestead I was toying with the idea of a paraffin heater but since my local DIY shop closed down (soon to be 20 new houses!) nowhere near to me sells the paraffin. How times have changed! I remember just going to a petrol station and filling a container from a barrel tap!
@@DigwellGreenfingers Yeh there was a local garage nearby that sold it out of a 250 litre drum ( you took your own container) cheapest I could find now is £8.75 for 4 litres 😨
@@SteveRichards27 Not sure Steve, they have lots of chrysanthemum stools, bulbs etc in there some of which are through so think they're worried about them getting hot.
@@cumbrianhomestead you will not be disappointed and most of it can be made with scavenging bits and bobs and it pumps a fair bit of heat out for what they are 👍🏼🇬🇬
Hi there I tried that, but it didn't work. Winding from the bottom is the best way I could establish, but the end needs to be flat and square. Thanks for watching 👍👍
A great process using a nice, inexpensive resource, Woody. Thanks for sharing how to do this.

I have one in my mini greenhouse - changed the wick yesterday - waste of time in a polytunnel though, might as well burn money : All the best - Steve
They're going through a lot of paraffin Steve that's for sure 😨
Cheers 👍
@@cumbrianhomestead what are they trying to achieve though Woody?

@@cumbrianhomestead ah, incredibly hard to stop them freezing in a tunnel after days on end below zero!
Amazing, stay connected dear friend
Thanks so much 🙏
Hi woody we used to be allowed these on our plots which were very handy in greenhouse, then we had idiots use them to set fire so banded now 😒
Always idiots who have to spoil things 😡😡
Hope you are both well

Can you wind in the wick from the top, winding anticlockwise?
Hi there
I tried that, but it didn't work.
Winding from the bottom is the best way I could establish, but the end needs to be flat and square.
Thanks for watching 👍👍
Oh heck, how do you extinguish it?
Hello Kath
You turn the wick down and blow out the flame 😉
I hope you are keeping well ❤️
