It used to start with Brian's butane torch igniting the diesel soaked rags and combustibles. Never seen a bad Taggerty fire yet.T1 Terry wrote: ↑Thu Jan 29, 2026 10:21 pmI thought Cuppa used oil soaked rags, the diesel was just to get the rags burning, the petrol was to get the diesel burningjon_d wrote: ↑Thu Jan 29, 2026 10:09 pmJohn's certainly tried to trap me there..... but I have a secret. Bigger and hotter burns faster. I've invited a few fission nuclear scientists to Taggerty to get some ideas. They're having trouble working out how to seed their mechanical sun with enough heat to trigger the initial reaction.just as well too, poor Jon would never be able to leave the farm once that stuff started burning .....
I said start with green and add diesel. They didn't quite understand. Bit like foot and 300mm, I'm guessing..![]()

Re: Good morning daily
Wow there there is some serious wood splitting gear in your back sheds, mine is starting to suffer a distinct lack of power and at times bounces off the jarrah attempting to hit me in the head

Re: Good morning daily
Another quandary solved, You boys talking about how big and powerful your splitters are Why do you make work for yourselves? build a bigger fireplace . My old husb made one for his workshop in cold old NZ out in the pine forest. (upper Atiamuri) It was around 4ft x 3ft, lifted the lid and filled it up and it went for day, actually got so hot they had to put more protective material on the floor around it. It worked so good he had to make another smaller one for the boss's house. It was just a huge steel box and air holes and a chimney all surrounded by thick mesh stuff.
If you spilt a beer on the floor it sizzled nicely.
BTW Good morning all.
