The logs we use are kiln-dried.
Wouldn’t ever call it value for money, but they are lovely things to have through the winter.
Bloody thing stinks. I think he burns old rubber tyres and oily rags in it.
My feedback thread is here.
I guess they're a nice thing to have in the countryside I really do understand the attraction but on public health grounds alone they can't ban them quick enough in cities as far as I'm concerned. I know plenty of people will disagree, but that's my experience, sorry.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
TBH it's high time something was done as there's a lot of ignorance about, but it's not too long ago that the government were promoting wood as it was supposedly "carbon neutral". A bit like when they were encouraging us to buy diesel cars.
Wood burners and multi fuel stoves will in future become a "feature" rather than a practical method of space heating.
I haven't paid too much attention to these regs as they don't apply in Scotland, where I live. FREEEDOM...!
We went to a few local places and they quoted around 4-5k, including a stove at around 1200 quid. Ended up finding the same Hetas guy who installed them for both shops and went direct. He said the stoves on the website I mentioned were no difference in quality to the more expensive ones, and we ended up getting the whole lot done for 2k (including the stove at around 600 quid).
He said the shops typically rip everyone off big time.
There's lots of talk about restrictions on them coming in, but I don't think we will see them banned, they may eventually ban new installations and restrict what can be burned, but if they want to ban them they'd have to find alternatives for people.
The install isn't complicated generally, but since I don't like heights I didn't drop in my own liner.
