Hi all
good thread.
I live in rented accomodation in an very urban area (i sold my house some time ago, when i saw the real estate crash coming). Unfortunately for the time being this is where i need to live for work.
Being very urban area, self sufficiency is not a concern of many people. So the vast majority of homes are completely reliant either on mains electric and/or mains gas. I am trying to find off-the-grid cooking and heating solutions, which i can take with me from one home to another. As i rent i cannot start making any major changes to the house.
Where i live in the winter it is cold and often very wet. I was looking at the frontier stove,
http://www.campingsolutions.co.uk/stove ... ier-stove/ as it seems to have pretty good potential for a solid fuel cooking option, which could be used to give out some heat too. Trouble is what you do with the flue!
Has anyone any experience with solid fuel stoves like this (i haven't any with any kind of solid fuel stove) and if so can anyone tell me if it would be possible for me to make some kind of flue fitting that i could fix to an open window or something, given that i can't start making any changes to the house i live in?
If not, i'd really appreciate any other ideas people have for off grid heating (the hardest problem to solve) and cooking in the kind of position i've outlined.
Here's another, more expensive though this one -
