I've recently redecorated my sitting room and put in a multi-fuel burner.
With drying washing in winter, I've previously dried it on a hanging airer thing in the kitchen, above the open fire.
There are three problems with that now.
- The space I have there isn't always enough to hang all my washing. I often do two loads a day.
- It can take up to 24 hrs to dry especially if the kitchen fire isn't on, which it often isn't because my stove in sitting room is so fab, that's the one I tend to light
- Washing can end up smelling of cooking if I'm not careful.
So I wondered about buying one of these type of airers to put the surplus in front of the stove in the sitting room for after we've gone to bed.
However, I have a feeling that some Piglet John might consider this to be a bad idea, leading to condensation etc, which I really don't want as the sitting room looks lovely now for the first time since moving in 3 yrs ago. It has crossed my mind that there's less ventilation when dealing with woodburners as opposed to an open fire where there's a decent draught which keeps the air circulating.
If I had a couple of the windows open a teeny crack would that keep condensation at bay? Or is it just such a bad idea that I should bin right now?!
