Fred is advertised in Jenny's "Period Living" magazine!
This is the FX8 model though which is 8kw, Fred is exactly the same but the 5kw model so a little smaller.

The pound film at the cinema today was Despicable Me 2 so we thought we'd give the decorating a miss and go and see Despicable Me 2 instead - much more entertaining than papering walls. I will never tire of the Minions, so funny!
We used Fred for a second time earlier and we are getting there.........slowly. A Youtube video made a good suggestion of putting the kindling like a Jenga game so we did it like this to start it off which started it off lovely.
When we put some logs on the fire seemed to go down so we had to put more kindling under the logs to try and build the fire up again. Mark went outside and chopped some logs up smaller which when we put them in the fire and more air got around them seemed to make a lovely flame. Lesson learned - don't use big logs until the chamber is up to temperature, start with smaller logs to get more air round and start the fire quicker.
It did get up to "best burn" temperature though and was lovely and warm in the lounge and conservatory. We even turned the lounge light off while Mark was trying to paper the walls and we were all enchanted by the pretty flames!

One half of the room is stripped and the wallpaper is going up slowly and looks very pretty. We still have to strip the other side of the room behind the huge sofa and paper that too.
