There are ventilation grills in the room already, but I get your point. When I first moved here the fireplace had a gas fire installed, I removed that and went solid fuel, as the flue was clear already. I have it blocked off again with my plastic in case any soot the bird dislodged falls down again. I will see how this winter goes and take it from there.

pistonbroke Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Yesterday I put 2 pieces of salmon under the grill . 1 piece for tea the other for next day . took the one piece out and served it up with salad , happily tucked into my meal sat in the dining room and thought I could smell something burning like someone was having a barby outside and the fumes were drifting into the house . When I went back into the kitchen with the empty dish discovered the other peice of salmon on fire and happily burning away . everywhere covered in black soot and kitchen full of smoke , took about 2 hours to clean the mess up before HID came home . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard (OldStager) Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 It's normally toast with me, the machine stopped popping up years ago so have to do it myself now - unless the phone rings and end up with what you had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Does burned salmon transmogrify into burned bread and vice versa? There's a PhD in there somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah happens a lot here, put bread in and you could get a pizza out, fish or a bottle of red wine ( not that has happened yet, but I wish it would) , if I was religious I would say it was a miracle.

No, that would be five barley loaves and two small fishes. You have to have what you're given! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
