Fed up with crap chimneys!

We bit the bullet and ordered some proper hand made stainless chimneys.
We asked Alan Buckle on fuelboat Bletchley where he got his chimneys made? He told us that they were made by Adrian Brindle

So we decided that after buying several crap chimneys, that were not that cheap, only to have them fall to rusty bits in just over a year, that we would order three new double skin stainless steel chimneys and a new exhaust stack.

Adrian kindly made these, easily removable adaptors to take our existing chimney hats.

Here, one of the adaptors is fitted, minus the hat.

All ready for painting.

Adrian's pricelist.

Our chimneys, along with some for another customer. Sadly, the chimney chains were too expensive for us at this time.

All ready for delivery.

I'll have to order a fresh supply of Brasso!

I may remove the exhaust splitter in favour of blowing smoke rings!

Our previous exhaust stack was always wonky, Adrian managed to correct it from a photo.
