We always bring firelogs broken into chunks to burn in the hobo if there wont be any wood about (like on a mountain). On Saturday night Matt had a log cut into 3 sections rather than into small chunks and it definitely burned longer so it's defo a better idea, plus easier.
We reckoned in low wind one log lasted about 2 hours.

Are you sure you got these in Poundstretcher? I was in there at lunch and could only see the typical bowl shaped ones.

 Maybe Ballymena has none in stock?

I got mine in Ikea as well.

I read on other forums Poundstretchers and Dunelm Mill. There is a Dunelm Mill in the Alban Retail Park where B&Q used to be.

I will go one better lat and long   54.654803,-5.69728


well  I set about a bit of stove desig after talking with Jonno and it looks like I am going for a wood gas stove.

According to Google the following blurb should explain things, Certain stove designs are in effect a gasifier working on the updraft principle - the air passes up through the fuel, which can be a column of rice husks, and is combusted, then reduced to carbon monoxide by the residual char on the surface. The resulting gas is then burnt by heated secondary air coming up a concentric tube. Such a device behaves very much like a gas stove.
An alternative stove based on the downdraft principle and typically built with nested cylinders also provides high efficiency. Combustion from the top creates a gasification zone with the gas escaping downwards through ports located at the base of the burner chamber. The gas mixes with additional incoming air to provide a secondary burn. Most of the CO produced by gasification is oxidized to CO2 in the secondary combustion cycle, therefore gasification stoves carry lower health risks than conventional cooking fires.
This photo should help to explain.

Anyway some photos

Can't wait to see this bad boy in action. I've been interested in wood gasification stoves for a while (who wouldn't!) but haven't seen one in action.

How about air holes on just one 'side' of the unit so you can regulate the flame by twisting the holes into our out of the wind?
