I am very happy to see a new video.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Love the videos keep up the good work James from ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks, will do!
I make these briquettes. To get rid of my wood waste I’ve got a briquette press and it’s good for me to dispose of my waste but I wouldn’t want to buy them I’ve made 250 lb and I’m using them but I’m constantly making more wood waste
Great way of making free fuel 👍
Great and helpful Vlog. Confirms what we have discovered. We tend to use smokeless coal mostly and only use an occasional heat log to get the fire going.
👍
Crikey - that's a huge amount of kindling - I'd typically use 3 or 4 of those and then put the logs on
Thats the amount I normally used for the smokeless briquettes
I was thinking 2 and part of a lot. Wasteful.
I use smokeless briquettes and I use about four sticks of kindling.
That is not kindling, you should split it down more like the size of a lead pencil. Then use a lot less and more air to start the fire. Build a small pile of the split kindling and put your log or larger wood on the kindling, then light it.. I have been heating my house with wood for 33 years, I thought he was going to burn up the boat. The way it was stacked basically created a small blast furnace with air up the center. Better yet keep a small bed of Coals in the stove. Constant heat and add wood as needed. It takes a little practice as you remove ash but leave the coals as best you can. Also be careful what you do with the ash, I put it in a metal container with a lid (Small Trash can metal) and leave it on a non combustible surface. The container can get hot on the outer surface so be careful what you do with it until it cools and the coals go out in it.
I though you were playing Jenna with a hot twist.
Love you both! X
Thank you ❤️
Seamless dialogues in peace and harmony is an ongoing learning process, but I have good hopes for the two of you ;-)
🤣😂
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Great video you too! xx
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
What's hot, is Deb's hair coming back so beautifully! God bless you, dear lady!
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Your absolutely wonderful!! You have no idea what joy it brings me to watch you guys on youtube. So unlikely I will ever be tending a fire on a narrowboat, but I could watch it again and again. Good people shine, and you shine shine shine. Thank you so much.
Wow, such kind words ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks guys catch you on the next video o and mark not too bad this week with your talking over debs lol 😂 keep the good work up
😂🤣
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas🎄
The comment I get a lot from friends is... Is it cold on a narrow boat in winter .... NO 😂... Far from it. The opposite. Doors open, windows open, while freezing outside... Love it ❣️
It’s the first thing people always ask 😂🤣
Wonderful there is such a thing as burn rate the object is to control how fast or slow you want thhose logs to burn if you want a lot of heat fast the way your loading will do the trick (if you want lower heat all night keep your logs tighter togther with just a trickle of draft below almost choking the fire.) In Central Milo Maine USA we can get 12-15 hrs with just a tiny draft below or no draft AT ALL. we also use a chimny damper just about fully closed.
I can control our smokeless coal so much better
Love T shirts. Also your hair is beautiful
Thank you so much!!
OMG!!!!!! You pair have made Darren’s year! Thank you so much. We both nearly fell off our chairs. Thank you and also thank you for being such lovely folk with a brilliant channel. Hope you pair have a wonderful xmas and new year. Wendy & Darren xxx
🤣😂❤️❤️
Love Debs commentary and that she is taking the lead. Keith & Helen.
Thanks ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
@@welldeckdiaries5610 merry Christmas to you guys and stay safe.
LOL, when we’re going for a walk, we have to spell it out. I walk everyday on the treadmill now that it’s cold, and I still have to spell it out when telling the wife. ❤️🇺🇸
Ha ha, they're to intelligent for their own good
Love your videos merry Christmas 🎅
Merry Christmas 🎄 to you too
I love how your vlogs are practical. Cozy vlog
Glad you like them!
A mix of Smokeless & wood? Nothing beats a Real Fire.
👍
I’m on a boat with a 4kw wood stove (not multi-fuel as no lower air intake).
I use compressed logs only and you can only burn one at a time. They do get hot but once you have the knack you get used to them we keep a slow steady burn.
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas🎄
Cute doggies
Thanks ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Lamb Birayami... Yum!!
It was lush ❤️
100 degrees wowser too hot glad to see you back and looking so well x
Could have done some great baked potatoes on the fire
The square briquettes are made with a huge amount of wood barks, . It will burn slowly for 6-8 hours
The 75-or 80 mm round briquettes which have a hole in, burns 🔥 quickly and a rises in temperature quicker, at 1 and a half to 3 or 4 hours. Means that the fire was dead during your sleep at about 2 or 3 in the morning.
But, you have another round briquettes of 90 and 100mm in diameter without the hole inside, this, burns for 8 hours straight.
The latter, is made with a machine only made in germany and Italy.
Highly pressed at about 18,000 KJ
We gave them away in the end
Very useful vlog. Getting it right with correct mix of wood and/or coal seems to be a right conundrum on any narrowboat!
You are correct
It's good to see you laughing, Deb's Hun. Take care and stay safe both of you.
Thank you Viktoria ❤️
So wonderful to see you both! Love these videos, they are so honest, useful and informative! Alfie was so darn cute helping out @2:38. You both are looking happy and healthy, always enjoy you guys! Thank you so much for sharing, take really good care, stay well & safe! Huge Hugs...Much love Kathy x 💖
Thank you Kathy ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Deb took the shoe, in her pink well deck shirt
Thanks ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
I do like that type of fire lighter no smell of paraffin/kerosene. Would interesting on our open fire with the heat logs.
👍
It's not just you. I'm British but live in Mongolia with my Mongolian wife in a yurt camp in the mountains. It's an extremely cold climate - probably one of the most severe habitable places on earth. Our winter night low temps average -30C but dip to -45C on a few nights. Day highs average -16C. We use smokeless briquettes for night and firewood for the day.
Wood is horrible for the night but it's nice for a quick heat up in the day when we can tend to the fire.
For an all night burn, we've found wood to fail completely. We simply can't burn for more than 1 hour without topping it up. We don't have access to wood briquettes.
So, we burn about 20kg of smokeless briquettes and we can get 16 hours from that which is just about enough. We've got a coal boiler (located in a shipping container next to the yurts) connected to 5 radiators running anti-freeze. It'll be our first winter with this heating method because before we used electricity to heat underfloor heating and space heaters last year. However, it cost us a fortune (about £400 last January) and the electric company uses coal anyway so we're cutting out the middle man and burning smokeless coal. We call them semi-coke briquettes.
The big advantage is an all night burn. The next big advantage is cost. A 25kg bag is £1 so we hope to save about 90% of the cost of heating with electricity. Firewood costs 4x more and has half the thermal efficiency, therefore 8x as expensive for the same heat generation ability. An easy choice for us.
I really like your lifestyle. Very cool.
Thanks 🙏
I’ve just ordered 30 25kg bags of smokeless fuels @ £16 per bag
I believe smokeless coal is subsidised here so that would explain the low price. Mongolia has huge coal mines and reserves but no oil and gas industry. Smokeless coal (semi-coke briquettes, technically speaking) is rationed though and only adult Mongolian citizens can buy it. Luckily my wife is in that category. She's allowed 7 bags per week which we'll stock up on now for deepest winter@@welldeckdiaries5610
The heat logs had me thinking I'd try putting 1/6th on. Now, I think it'd be to hard to break them into sixths by hand, so what I was thinking I'd do is break 'em into thirds, then get a big knife and try to cut one of the thirds lengthwise. But then I realised, what's going to happen if I try to do this is the knife won't want to go in, so I'll press harder and harder until the log suddenly splits. At least one of the halves will go shooting off, ricochet off the boat wall, and go arcing over toward the kitchen where it will, of course, hit some hard edge, shatter, and scatter chunks of compressed sawdust all over my breakfast! XD
I love watching your videos. Have a good one! :D
😂🤣
Like you I have a morso squirrel but just use smokeless brickets and foraged wood seems to work fine, keeps nice and toasty
Thanks and Merry Christmas 🎄
It’s lovely to see you both looking so well and happy and the hair on your heads match, beautiful color, and I love the tee-shirts. A very interesting and delightful vlog, many thanks for letting us take a peek into your lives. Keep well and happy.❤️🌻 x x
Thank you so much❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Great seeing u two again!!! Looking good Deb!!
Thanks ❤️
Totally love you both. Fantastic to see you. Looking good. Thanks for the shout out. Much love and happy holidays. 😊
Thanks ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
I too bought the overnight bricks, and didn't find them good at all.
I found that they had gone out after only 5 hours.
As I get up early most days, make a coffee, and go back to bed with it, I'm going to try putting another brick on when I get up, assuming there are embers still left, balance 2 or 3 lumps of coal on top of that, and open up the vents, see if that works any better.
I’m sure they work for some people
Well, I would have thought, they either work, or they don't.
We have a open fire and have tried them we had the same problem, the block didn't last all night. And the logs were OK give off a lot of heat but Burnt quickly. Interesting to see them on a log burner thank you .have a lovely weekend.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice to see you again. Very happy Christmas and good health and happiness to you.xxx
Thank You ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Love seeing the WDD Tshirts! Great, honest review. Cheers!
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Great job. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Good to see you lovely boaters again
Thanks ❤️
Bloody interesting,,,
Thanks guys,,,
Certainly got me thinking
👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
It's great to see your vids and always look forward to the next....also nice to catch a glimpse of Darren & Wendy 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Vic
Who needs entertainment when we got you :-)
You're too kind ❤️
You two crack me up ! You both look so healthy and happy and few deserve it more. Now De - ba - ra , you've got to work on that too gentle nudge , if you just bend your elbow a little more ( jab ) you'll have much more luck getting his attention. Haha. Much love from Florida Laura 🍊🤗🧡
Thanks for the suggestions Laura🤣😂
Interesting to see how the various products work for heating. I agree with you and using the smokeless fuel.
Thanks
Very interesting this week guys. Wow the fire got hot.
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
I love watching your videos so much!
Thanks Hilda ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
We have the exact same model in our home. We found the compressed fire logs can tar up the window. I use a baby wipe dipped into cold ash to clean the window.
We use the same to clear the glass
We watched your latest vlog,and are really pleased that we fitted a oil fired stove,no problems with temperature fluctuations,and the best thing is you don't have to feed it like a multi fuel system,any way thanks as always for a informative and entertaining vlog.regards Alex and maria
We are tempted to change
@@welldeckdiaries5610 we have a purpose made fuel tank in the bow of our boat, which holds 100l desiel ,retro fit is more complicated,as I recall the narrow boat experience ladies had a oil stove fitted,and had a smaller tank fitted in the welldeck in a locker.ours is a back boiler and stove,and keeps us toasty warm
Hello from Christmas michigan love the vlog . Lots of people burn lots of wood here natual gass and propane to .pellet stoves are becoming popular they are like you're heat log but about the size of a pistachio. Cool that's it's made from sawdust and bark.
In the uk we have pellet boilers, they market them as carbon neutral
@@welldeckdiaries5610 I think they may have been invented there to.
I've had a multi fuel stove for 30 years, that bottom damper needs to be completely shut from the start and the top damper only slightly cracked open.
Thanks ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Hi...that temp meter should be around 12 inches up the chimney/ flue . It the flue temp you need to monitor 😀
Where are you Well Deck Diary? We miss you.
Hi, so I have a stove similar to yours, its a clear view. This is just my experience, with the smokeless coal, we use a small amount of bottom vent and just enough top vent to get the double burn, ie you can see the gasses coming off the coal, burning above it, with the wood or anything similar, after kindling, bottom vent closed. Open to top vet to get the double burn again, is very minimal. There is a point where you close the top vent and temp on the stove goes up, with less oxygen, but you can see the double burn above the fuel start to appear
The smokeless coal is awesome, put a small load in the bottom and it burns for ages, like 8 hours, min lower vent and control with min upper vent. (You can add some old firebricks, to make the hearth smaller in the summer)
Wood, say timber from the house we are renovating, its dry, so get about 2 kgs an hour, at lower end of heat output, still good, estimate 4kw, but with the double burn.
I think the idea with wood, is to get the stove to a temperature that burns the wood, not from below, but its hot enough in the stove to ignite with the overall heat in the stove, if you can keep that going, there is a setting with the top vent that will keep this going for an appreciable time, not as good as smokeless coal, but you can get to the 2kg of wood (good dry wood) an hour with about 4 kw output.
That heat log looks like, compressed it would be very good, but, as you saw, it just expanded in your stove and the surface area increased dramatically, its not solid fuel any more, I would surprised if there was an efficient setting that you could get the double burn. I would agree with you that it will just flare or go out, depending on the vent setting.
Its great see to guys doing something mundane, like a "what fuel video" , after the tribulations you have been thru, and debs hair is coming along a treat. 🙂
Keep at it. xxx
LOL, re the booze, I have a bottle of wine while I am watching.
Lamb biryani, wish I was there.
The dark and mysterious art of mastering control of a multi fuel stove, and each one seem to be slightly different.
That was hot;could of cooked the christmas turkey.Glad nothing caught fire,happy christmas
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas🎄
Enjoyed it as always, your both looking well and love the hair girl 😍
Stan Alison and Nutmeg 🐕
Thanks, you pair❤️
Merry Xmas and every good luck for 2022 you both deserve ❤ the very best life has to offer 😀 😊 xxxx
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Hi to the pair of you,, great to o see you back, great review, look forward to your next video. best wishes
Thanks ❤️
If you do burn wet wood. Please please please make sure you have a CO monitor near the firebox. Unseasoned wood releases a lot of Carbon Monoxide.
We have 2 CO alarms👍
These are fine as long as you store them somewhere dry. When we bought our boat, the previous owners had left a box of heat logs on the stern deck. Unfortunately, they had got moisture in and disintegrated into a very heavy, wet box of sawdust.
We joked about how they would swell up if we ever sprung a leak 😂🤣
love your video's. i love the not how to but how i do stuff.keep warm this winter ! keep safe and happy much love from skegvegas
Thanks and Merry Christmas 🎄
Another brilliant vlog guys, Well done. Mrs loves the dogs, well we both do really. Keep safe and well.
Thanks 👍
@@welldeckdiaries5610 Sorry i was ment to say Deb, the Mrs said your looking really well.
WoW that fire looks hot! I think you got it right in that you stick with what works for your Boat. Good to see you both doing well. Mark in Colorado
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas🎄
Def one thing we need to get is a fire…
Just watching this with your lovely toastie fire has made me feel warm…..
have a couple of beers for you Mark!!
There is something so welcoming and cozy about a real fire❤️
Great to see you both looking so good and so Comical. So interesting about your heat logs. I’d be cooked in those temperatures. Take care and keep safe. Thank you.
We wont be using them again
Man I love you guys. You rock the T shirts :) love this vid thanks. Stay safe guys.
Thanks Andy❤️
Good show! I almost passed out after I was on my way back to the couch!
I slowly went to the floor. Dave called 911 and was going to have the ambulance
come get me. After a few minutes I was feeling a lot better. I am back in my recliner,
and watching the rest of you video. It was very informative. I would like to see your new
Grandson one of these days. We bought a home in a 55t community. It is in Fredericksburg,
Va. We will be 12.8 miles away from Erin and Josh. We are flying back on my birthday (Dec. 21st).
We will be there until Dec. 28th. We will then go back to Nevada to continue getting ready to move.
I have been waiting for this to happen for a very long time!
Love, Pat and Dave ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
New grandson will make an appearance soon.
hope everything goes smoothly with you move
OMG, I am so glad you are okay! From the tag line horrific thoughts went thru my mind. You both look good, hope daughter and baby are also doing well. That fire product definitely not for a narrowboat. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.. Take care and see you soon.
Thanks Judith ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
family are doing great
Interesting vid ty. I live in an old damp cottage and have a multifuel burner with a back boiler so no fire no heating. I've adopted the extra sweater way of life rather than having fire lit all the time, house is cool generally and only light the fire if it properly chills off. I have a box of lento overnight blocks which I use when it's cold as a way of making the coal go further. On mine they burn slow and leave enough heat to restart next day. Presently stopping in my parents well insulated bungalow , give me draughts any day . Think I've finally stopped being a Southern softy...and adapted to the E Mid climate. My fave wood this winter is aldi kiln dried, that with coal burns well. Do honestly think people heat their homes too much these days unlike when we were children and central heating was a new thing. Btw do you think those stove fans actually make a difference? I know several people who have them but I'm not convinced. Lovely to see you both smiling and well even if a little too warm. Hope you are having a lovely Christmas 🎄
I remember frost on the inside of the bedroom window when I was a kid
Thanks ❤️ Happy new year
Thank you for a very informative vlog. I'm glad you did this experiment so others didn't have to! I hope you both stay safe and well, and please share your lamb recipe!
Thanks ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Just like ourselves you never want to be cold in your own home. Love the heat!! I have to laugh at the two of you both always wanting to speak. There’s one thing for sure you would never get a single penny in a sponsored silence LOL. On a positive note you both rock the T shirts. Keep well and Happy Xmas.
😊 thank you Nigel, Debbie says I even talk in my sleep 🤣😂
Loved it loved it 😍 ❤ you both stay safe xx
Thank you ❤️ and Merry Christmas🎄
Oh my goodness.... how hot!!! Scary...... thanks for trialing these... by the look of your welldeck you have a supply that will last you until the Spring!! Useful ballast ??!! Ha ha... xx
We have given them to other boaters
Great vlog guys, love your product 'honest opinion' vids as they provide alternative ideas to improving life on board. You've come to pretty much the same conclusion that I have about heat logs, great for instant high heat but not ideal for longer lasting adjustable heat that smokeless coal provides. On my Morso, I've been burning anthracite for years which suits my boat and lifestyle perfectly, but it took many years of trial and error before I found this solution.
It's very much about the type of stove and temperature requirements of the user that determines the ideal fuel needed, but watching vlogs like this can certainly helps to cut corners and cost. Have a cosy very merry Xmas both x
Thank you Mark❤️ and Merry Christmas🎄
Good to see you both you both looking well hope you are nearly l ready for Christmas that fire looks so warm and cosy hugs to you bothxxx
Thanks and Merry Christmas 🎄
Loved the video, crack up over shhhing made me laugh. Scarey about the heat. I liked the T’s on you both. Your both looking so well. Love from downunder 💜💜🙋♀️🙋♀️
Glad you enjoyed it
We have a control to turn our fire down so it doesn’t burn so fierce
we have 2
I'm a chilly mortal but i dont think i could cope with the temperature variations, definitely smokeless coal, burns for ages, glad its not just us burning the Morso 24/7. Loving all your vlogs X
Thanks Julie❤️
Tried these heat logs in our cottage, like the boat, good to bring up the heat but way to hot. Work great outside in a fire pit.
We now use large smoke less brunettes and work fantastic.
Have a Merry Christmas
Steve & Mel (Ex NB Dogs Allowed).
Thanks you pair
merry Christmas to you too 🎄
Looking snazzy in your tshirts! Glad to see you both looking very well ❤️
Thanks ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Great video guys , I had those heat logs from Tesco and they left a residue on my roof and down side of boat , I just use logs & xL coal now . I also got a coal cage after your vlog . It’s great & stays on all through the night👍👍 I have a new mooring secured for next year somewhere else 😀
You'll have to let me know where you're off to next year when we bump into each other
@@welldeckdiaries5610 yeah no worries mate 👍
Similar experience with the "hotties" fuel logs, one minute sat there in me pants with the windows open, then nothing....much happier and easier with sold fuel briquettes, our morso swift prefers them.
Keep up the good work 👏
We shall not be using them again
I used to have a Morso Squirrell in my kitchen and I burned housecoal. It used to get very hot and it would stay in overnight.
Then I put in a boiler in the back and got gallons of hot water. I had to have lots of baths to get rid of it.
Sounds great!
Lovely to have you back and both looking so well. Watched this video then jumped up and put my 'real' gas fire on. Best wishes Christine x 🔥
❤️👍
I wonder if making smaller slices of the "heat log" would make it not as hot?
I'm sure it would be a shorter burn time.
I think you'd be constantly feeding the fire
I only used a slice of a log to light my wood stove. They burn to hot to fast.
Thanks for commenting
To achieve absolutely spotless glass on your stove, take damp sponge or rag and dip into cooled *white* ash. Rub on glass until clean, rinse with water and let dry. Rinse again, if needed, to eliminate haze.
P. S. Only use WOOD OR PAPER ASH. Coal contains earth products that can scratch glass. Wood does not.
Thanks 👍
Top tip
Lovely as always to see you both smiling and ever so happy.... luv luv your how I do it vlogs .... as we all do things differently and its always great for us to see as other do things..... its all about you showing us your narrowboat life and thanks as always for sharing your life ..... Ps how is the new grandbaby doing and the family.... wishing all well luv Debz from Oz
Thank you Deborah ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Family and baby are doing great
Dont forget, you really need a carbon monoxide alarm.
Not a narrow boater but I use a multi fuel stove 5W as my main winter heating for 6 years: Never used heat logs but I have used smokeless anthracite coal for overnight heating.
Unfortunately, the UK only has two such coal pits and both came across difficult geological conditions this year. So difficult to source and expensive.
Over the years, I've found just a few pieces of decent quality coal and minimum venting top and bottom is the best for overnight. I keep warm rather than hot!
We have 3 carbon monoxide alarms on the boat 👍
Really interesting vlog as Steve has bought a ton of night bricks. We will be trying these once on board I hope we more luck 😊
Fingers crossed!
Just commenting from afar .. but those 'heat logs' may be perfect to load with "wet" foraged branches for an economic blend. - enjoying your vlog from the Hurunui NZ.
Thanks for the tips!
Its illigal in the UK to use wet wood, has to be kiln dried or seasoned to a fairly low moisture level.
Hi Guys Good to see you back.
Always good info on your vlogs
My husband used to make similar blocks to those 30 years ago in a giant compactor like a sausage machine they are ideal for burning on an open fire at home as they expand with the heat being compressed woodshavings.
Hoping to get our narrowboat very soon...👌😉. Would you still recommend a coal cage?
Thanks to you both. 👍
We love the coal cage but there are a lot of people who didn't get on with it
@@welldeckdiaries5610 Many thanks Mark, good to know .
We always enjoy watching your vlogs. Full of useful information.
Have a good week 👍
Love your vlogs, especially the music you usually add. Would you share where you get the tracks? I have a hard time finding appropriate tunes for slideshows. Merry Christmas to you both and a healthy New Year.

WOW, that is some serious heat those logs cranked out. i agree 100 degrees fahrenheit (i'm in the U.S.) would be unbearable at bedtime, although the dogs didn't seem to mind one bit lol. If you don't have any uploads before Christmas, i wish you both a Very Merry Christmas!
Thanks 👍 and a Merry Christmas to you too 🎄
Thanks for a very helpful review. Considering how expensive the Lekto products are it’s surprising how quickly they burn off! ( yes I popped to your Amazon link). Stay safe, stay warm ( fancied some of that Biriani😉). Joan
Thanks ❤️ and Merry Christmas 🎄
Have you thought about a Dickinson (Newport) Diesel Heater...?
No we haven't we have a diesel boiler that heats radiators
Pupprs! Great to see the hair growing in :)
Thanks ❤️
We might (if we have one) put one of those logs on if we've been out all day just to take the chill of quickly, otherwise we just burn exel on our squirrel. Also got two front grates so we can load it right up. Refuel twice a day .
good idea with the 2 front grates
