    Was in the workshop today and started burning off Christmas rubbish in the stove, just above the stove is a thermometer and after it got up to 48 C I thought it prudent to back it off a couple of gears.

    A nice 30 is very nice this weather, mind you when it's burnt down a bit it soon gets very cold with all the machines and metal in the shop.

    I keep about 7 tonnes of steel on stock at any one time and that takes a large amount of heat to raise it 10 degrees.

    I used to work in a workshop with no overnight heating, we had a radial drill which weighed about 10 ton. when this got cold it was like a giant radiator in reverse sucking in any heat we could get in the building.
