  • Hi, apologies for the delay in replying and thanks for the advice - I’ve been following it this weekend after getting some more logs.

    So far it’s working well - I’m on top-down (Scandinavian) method - gets a really nice fire going quick and heats up the flue pretty quickly too. Your tip on getting a moisture tester: I’m gonna follow up soon when I get paid. I get that it’s going to be pretty useful.

    I got the two controls mixed up: left being main air vent (which I now keep open until the fire gets red hot) and the right (which I used to keep closed all the time) and now leave open. So, it’s running pretty nice now, my next challenge is keeping it going! I got some complaints that the room was going cold so I’m not sure if leaving the logs to go to embers was leaving it too late before putting more logs on.

    Again, thanks for the heads up, this is a learning curve for us, but I really appreciate the help.








  • Great advice and thanks for taking the time.

    For what it’s now worth, this has been my way so far (which by the sound of it may be why I’m unsuccessful): load kindling, one log and a couple of firelighters, light fire, keep control open and also door.

    Close door after 3-4 mins, wait until log is burnt on one side then turn it over, wait until its burnt through then add another log then repeat turn and refill.

    Not getting chance to watch tv properly as I’m constantly watching the fire!

    Do you find any type of log better than others?

    Thanks again for the advice.




  • Hi, on f-droid there’s an app called Android Samba Client but I can’t get it to connect to my shared folder because of permissions - it says, but I can’t find a lot of documentation about it.

    Have you seen this?

    I’m hoping that it’s not connecting because of something I’m doing wrong - and maybe I can figure it out later (poss. because of my lack of understanding on my part of the way plex should share permissions with other devices).

    If you get anywhere further, please let me know. - it just doesn’t seem to be a well covered topic unfortunately.


  • Yeah, sorry - I misunderstood you. The link is good, thanks for providing it. Some of it is a little above my head, but when I look at X-plore and my plex server I can see in the properties that it’s using smb V2 to connect.

    So, I guess the means of permanently having a remote drive connected for Android to access isn’t a pipe dream. It’s now just figuring out the best way to achieve it.

    So, I’ll try to explore some of that links info and see if I can get anywhere with it.

    Thanks again for taking the time.
