Welcome to the list Hugh.

I'm sure you've been advised re: the flue cover. Due to laziness, I
haven't actually got a flue cover yet! ( I really should get
one......)

This list has been REALLY helpful, the archives have tons of info, and
I can say from personal experience, that people are patient and
helpful with newbie questions.

Yup. Start small. Work your way up. (though the flue is kind of midpoint ;^)

Enjoy!

Neil.
