![]() The only problem is with the flue exiting at the back, it would need some serious working out how to make it go up towards my existing chimney hole.Ĭut the steel pipe you use as a chimney at a forty five degree angle and weld the two parts back together with a 180 degree revolution so you get a ninety degree elbow.Ĭut it with a grinder, going around and around stroking the pipe neatly until it is severed. ![]() I really like the idea of top loading as you can really stock up on fuel and get the fire going continuously in the winter. Easily stayed in for 24hrs without supervision.ĭo you get a lot of smoke out of the top when you fill it up while its burning? ![]() The tall narrow design meant it could be filled up with a load of coal or wood then the vents shut down to control burning. The enamel top bit lifts up and reveals a plate meant to take a kettle or stewpot for simmering. I put a 2nd hand large version of the one in you pic, into my old house. its hard to have a small fire too as even with the dampers closed it just burns up mega fast and its a job in itself to feed a small fire.Īny small stove recommendations, epecially round shaped ones, pot belly or otherwise, still, i do like the Godin. its also very difficult to keep a fire in over night as the grate is so wide and shallow its hard to build up a decent amount without then roasting ourselves in the process and removing all the oxygen from the boat. Our villager is a bit big, takes up lots of space and the ash pan is impossible to remove while you have a fire on the go. I really like the look of them, they take up less space than say a double door villager stove like I have at the moment and I was wondering if anyone has any experience of the Godin, either good or bad. Ive never seen a boat with one on, but ive not seen very many boats inside. Album DescriptionIm curious to know if anyone has a Godin stove on their boat.

Though the closest Godin comes to the excitement of Contrepoint is the jazzy, suite-like finale "Cité Radieuse," Concrete and Glass is still a fine example of his distinctively smooth style. Another highlight is "Catch Yourself Falling," a poppy collaboration with Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor that sounds so natural, it's surprising that he and Godin haven't worked together before. Kadhja Bonet's elegant turn on "We Forgot Love" makes it easy to envision her singing it alone in a gorgeous but empty penthouse. Godin's other collaborators also help distinguish the album from his prior work. It's often more streamlined, as on "Time on My Hands," a sculptural track featuring impassioned vocals by Kirin J Callinan. However, Concrete and Glass isn't a rehash of Air's music. Godin even includes some of the whimsy that prevented his previous project from seeming too pretentious with "Turn Right Turn Left," a sci-fi pop duet with a route-finding app that makes navigating Los Angeles sound blissful. With its vocodered vocals, spacey electronics, and a melody that flirts with several moods - romance, loneliness, nostalgia - without settling on any of them, "What Makes Me Think About You" harks all the way back to Moon Safari's "Remember." "The Border," an homage to Mies van der Rohe, recalls the spacious, late-night moods of Pocket Symphony. As its name suggests, Godin's second solo album is ultra-sleek and airy, in both senses of the word. If Contrepoint's dazzling fusion of classical, jazz, Tropicalia, exotica, and left-field pop and the flawless '60s spy music homage of his Au Service de la France (A Very Secret Service) score felt like reactions to the iconic sound he crafted with Air, then Concrete and Glass is a welcome return to it. Much like an architect, over the years Godin has built on his music's foundations while continuing to innovate. A skilled use of structure and space is just as important to composing music as designing a building, and the weightless drift of his music is as much of a feat as a skyscraper that seems to defy gravity. ![]() Looking back on his career with and without Air, Nicolas Godin's beginnings as an architecture student become more and more apparent - and not just because the first song he created, "Modulor Mix," was a tribute to Le Corbusier.
