We have moved in to a house with a log burner. Never had one before - I am so excited and have visions of lying on cosy rugs in front of a roaring fire... I've found lots of useful threads about how to build a fire but I have several burning (ha!) questions which remain unanswered. Fire owners, can you help me?
Firstly - the chimney is not 'lined'. What are the implications of that? Should we do anything (other than get it lined) like burn specific stuff or not burn specific stuff?
I've been googling fire wood but can't get my head around the quantities. How is it sold (as in, by the bag? By the cubic something?), how do you buy yours? What's a good price per unit?
What kind of wood would you recommend and why? I know it must be seasoned. The words kiln and solid have come up in my Googling.
Is there anything else that might be useful to know? TIA
