    Hey, not sure about SA, but I pay ( when I cant get my own) Between $65 and $90 a metre, split. Quantities is hard, cos it depends on how much you use it. We run 2 coonara's ( one in shed), when I'm home I have fire redhot the whole time ( Im coldblooded)
    And we go thru about I dunno, maybe 9-10 metres a winter. We also get offcuts from the local sawmill for next to nothing.
    Hope this helps..

    Thx Kat. This helps a lot. I have never even had to buy wood before, so at least I get an idea of price range. Thx!

    Has anyone installed one of those air ducts to shift hot air to the other side of the house.
    They look pretty simple to make but I was just wondering if they work?....no reason why they wouldn't.

    Had -7 here last night and the bedroom side of the house was freezing and the heater side was 28deg

    Kris, you have seen my house and I am in the same boat....

    It's only a small house and the entire house gets roasted except for our bedroom which is only 3 steps down from the house but no heat gets there....FREEZING!!!

    I have an open gable roof so there is no way to run an air duct through there as I was just thinking of this the other day.

    I am considering cutting some duct vent grills around the fire place, running the pipes under the house with a fan/duct grills mounted in the bedroom.

    I know heat rises but using the fan theoretically should suck the heat from the loungeroom.

    Has anyone done this???

    Does it work???

    I lay in bed with 2 blankets, fully clothed in the fetal position and I'm OVER IT!!!....lol

    Yes, that is exactly what I want to do but not what that last post is talking about.

    He is talking about taking cold air from ground and putting it up high, etc.

    I am very temptered to put two duct vents right infront of the Coonara and run it about 7-8 metres to the lower level master bedroom and babys room.

    I've been ordered to get nice looking antique style vents if I am cutting two holes right infront of the Coonara in the loungeroom..lol

    It has to surely work...The floor boards infront of the heater are toasty hot, air is getting pulled from there down 7m to another room...Has to work!!!
