cooking with the log burner!

HELLFIRE PIZZA COOKER AND GRILL SET

As winter draws nearer and the energy bills will be going up by over 80% in October like everyone in the uk we are all looking to save money any way we can and as we have a log burner we are looking to use it to cook more food on.

The wife found a grill plate to place in the log burner to aid in cooking on the stove, they do two sizes, and I'm debating whether to purchase one for cooking on the cold wet weekends when we have the burner on all day warming the house.

It comes as a kit to cook all manner of things, not just pizza, I would not think of using anything other than good kiln dried wood as I would think the smoke will flavour the food to a degree, especially when grilling over the glowing embers.

We have measured the dimensions, and it looks like we could fit a nine-inch grill in our fire I'm just waiting on feedback from the shop to confirm this, as it's a bank holiday weekend I doubt ill get anything back until mid-week next week.

This company also do a planning maker, and they did do a jacket potato maker as well (we have these items already but are unable to use hem to the best of their ability as they need to be used inside the stove) and I fear they will fail or damage the burner if not placed flat 

check out the company's website and see what they do at naturalheating.co.uk

So today my tumble dryer egg's arrived from a company called eco egg, I purchased the unscented version via Amazon because there was no postage as I'm a prime member.

There are many versions of tumble dryer ball brands you can buy, but we have purchased this for 2 reasons.

1. We purchased the laundry egg for the washing machine a few years ago, it washes the clothes almost as well as a leading brand's that we have used and there is less packaging and waste.
2. You can buy some fragrance sticks that fit inside the egg to scent while helping dry the clothes 

The dryer egg claims to save the drying time by up to 28%, it's done by the eggs creating warm air pockets in the damp clothing and will help to try them faster.

First thoughts in the 1st time of using the eggs I found they are rather loud crashing about in the dryer drum with a half load. I will try them more with a bigger load.

dryer warranty

 With the new dryer the technology being quite new, I was keen to get extra cover for the dryer as it  cost £450, I don't want to have any big bills with it,  I was going to go with the supplier AO, I went to register the dryer on Hoovers website, so it has its warranty, and found they do extend warranty that you can keep it for the life of the dryer, it is also cheaper than AO offered, I think all the key features offered was the same
