Modern domestic wood , log burners

An old fella near me with asthma and breathing difficulties is worried as a young couple over the road are installing a wood burner .

Is this likely to affect him ? I have told him not to worry as its 20 feet high but he's a very nervous old bloke 😬

Thought I’d run mine after reading this….no problem all summer with water but the heating won’t come on….I think it’s the wireless thermostat again. Good to know now I guess rather than in a month when I’ll prob want it running

You’ve got a thermostat on your wireless? Can you still get Popmaster:shrug:

Had a week in Spain with the Mrs, got back at 4pm on Friday. House was freezing. The heating went on as soon as we got in. It is off again now.

Morison was asked to turn down the temperature in the dressing room as it was getting heated, he's now out in the cold , not likely to fire up the heat in that dressing room anytime soon.

We have one but to purchase a bag of seasoned cut logs is about £80. Is this really more cost efficient than just turning the central heating on for an hour in the evening?

The advantage of using logs is that you will have a better handle of ongoing cost. It's easier to assess what value of logs you are going through (and having paid in advance) rather than waiting for the retrospective energy bills to arrive.

I have a reason not to have one installed just yet: my energy supplier overestimated my gas bill about 6 months ago and charged me at what was then the going rate. Until my consumption reaches their overestimated reading it's in my interest to use gas at what is effectively a cheaper rate and declare my usage at very low levels in the meantime.
