Show us: your log burners and open fires

[MrGrumpy]

Were taking most if not all of our wood burners out including 2 AGA's. That's the plan to go full electric heating

Seems like a daft idea to get rid of potentially free sources of heat ?

Brave man!!🤔🤔🤔

I understand the cheaper way if you use free wood. But they are heavily polluting for the atmosphere. To legislate against polluting vehicles and promote for wood burners is crazy. Town and cities could easily go back to smog situations

But in extreme situations your electric car and heating is burning coal???

Which when you combine several energy conversions must be quite inefficient???

That’s very honourable but it wouldn’t be !!

Been round the houses with this before and the energy crisis just shows it’s all bollocks. I’m with OVO and it’s supposed to be green energy as well ?!

However I am planning on solar and will do my bit for the environment, once it make my way through the maze of differing quotes .

Just fitted and tested in our modest holiday flat .. I think it’s Jotul and about 6.5kw

No way you'll need 6.5kw in a modest holiday flat!
Better move those sofas back against the furthest away wall 😂

My wife was there when the installers tested it and she said it did get a bit warmer than she expected

We have a 12kw in a room that could be heated by a 5kw stove.

The large stove dosent get so hot and the viewing glass is larger as is the ash pan.

Here is looking forward to smog and fog this winter - just about everyone I know with a log burner will be ramping up their use, and not using gas.
