Re: Thermal cookers?!

Somewhere one here there’s a post by Mr Gus about his cooking using this method and his diy haybox cooking apparatus. It’s a shame he’s not around at the minute because this was very much a subject in which he was knowledgeable and passionate. With regard to pressure cookers I am also from the age g...

Re: Extra cooling

Thanks, I was just curious as it’s been discussed hypothetically on here before but you’re the first person I’ve heard using it so it’s nice to hear some real life experience as well.

I was going to break out the aircon unit today ready for the weekend but the week ahead forecast has changed from delightful ...

Re: Intelligent Octopus Go

How wiil/does using a household battery, or pv and inverter to supply some of the power for the EV or HP impact the use of the smart tariffs for those devices? If part of the supply is from the batteries that will be on the house side of the meter. Lets assume for example they would know from the i...

Re: Intelligent Octopus Go

I would think that they can also identify the heat pump and your battery consumption if you are signed up to their smart systems as they communicate directly it would therefore be possible to apportion power tariffs relative to that consumption wouldn't it ? I suppose if they were going that route t...
