Would it be a good idea to get one? I've heard they can save loads on your gas bill but have also heard going forward they'll be additional costs due to being bad for the environment.

I've seen that guardian article about the study that shows they increase pollution in the home by up to 3 times. And not to have one if you have children or elderly people. We will have a newborn this winter and I'm getting antsy about lighting ours since I read it. Would you light one with a tiny baby?

We have one and had it going constantly when she was born to help keep this house nice and warm.

It really does seem to split people doesn't it.

I think I need to do some googling as I know that my neighbour has one bug burns so much crap it stinks. We would want to burn seasoned wood which would be cleaner but maybe not enough.

Thanks all
