In Spain there were lots of these on rooftops. Free hot water.

Not sure how good in uk they would be

One suggested way of heating a greenhouse is to use 45gal oil drums painted black and full of water.

Greenhouse heating? Only grow stuff off floor, on staging. Keep a rabbit on the floor, its body heat will do the job for the price of some bunny food!

Noel, that's all very well, burning free pickup wood, like we do at the club for a BBQ, but Brighton and Hove council are not alone in snotty attitude to woodburning. I can smell why, cold evenings the air is very wood smokey here.

MichaelG,

I consider that 'coy' pricing = hiding something! Beware!!
