Hi Susie, many thanks yes I have seen the short film on YouTube, the Victorian farm link is interesting. As a chimney sweep I still get to sweep these every now and then, one of my customers who is 89 years old and she said they used to sprinkle salt in the bottom of the oven and when it started to turn brown it was the right temperature for cooking bread. My post really is to try and find out as many hints and tips on cooking lighting and operating the dampers etc before that generation completely disappears. Many tanks
