Nope i won't be burning any pallet's , blue or any other colour .
The only wood that will go in the fier will be white wood which i have access to in abundance .
I did think about a grate for the bottom but for the amount of ash left over i don't think one will be nessersary , when i checked it during instalation there was a slight dusting in the bottom from 3 good day's burning when i was (burning off the paint) conditioning it.
Where the galv sheeting is in contact with the ply i intend to sandwich a piece of concrete board as a heat barrier , but there is at least 5" space to the stove all round , and with the size of my shed i wont need a big fire burning.
I have fitted a damper in the flue , ok its not the best fit but on trials it did reduce the air flow and made the fire last longer .
Picked my roofing sheet up the other day so all been well tues i will roof the workshop and fit the chimney , my only concern with the roof is where the chimney exits , hopefully it will be on a flat section of the sheet's but with sod's law it will be on a ridge . I did look at fire cement/putty but it is for internal use , so i bought a tube of heat resistant mastic (200 degC) and it's waterproof , otherwise i will put some flashing up made from some spare galv sheet.
