I haven't as there's no provision for one in my modest home but it's certainly the right weather. Could we please see pictures? Thankyou.

Nothing quite like it. The pub up the road has a log burner which is usually alight all day but is allowed to go out in the evening!

Just lit mine

Please don't get one of these... My elderly mother has a lung disease (not a smoker before anyone throws that at me) and is realllly suffering whenever she leaves the house in the winter. She lives in an average sized mostly-middle class town and it's fucking FULL of log burners. Every. Single. Time she leaves the house she is coughing her guts up and it leaves her coughing black phlegm up for days afterwards. She now hasn't left the house in 5 weeks....she won’t even walk to her garage to put laundry in her dryer.

So unbelievably bloody selfish

Mines been on for the last hour. Needs a sweep up of the ashes but I'm cosy and not moving!

Had mine on most of the day, lots of snow and it’s freezing.

Why are you so rude? A log burner is a perfectly normal household thing.

Sorry about your mum but there's no need for the rudeness.

Soupwithstring · 19/11/2024 16:50

@VegTrug thats a bit harsh.

I live in the countryside. I bloody love the smell of wood burning.

I can only imagine your mother's neighbours are burning plastic or something.

OilyTussle · 19/11/2024 16:53

Burning away nicely here

We only put it on at night as wood costs so much 🙈

ChristmasLightsLover · 19/11/2024 16:54

We have one. The back of the house is open plan. Even when we have the heating on the back of the house stars cold so it is a godsend.

It was bought from eBay, re sprayed and together the set up is beautiful.

Stays cold. Not stars. Auto correct fail.

@VegTrug does your mum drive? do you drive? do you buy things that get delivered by diesel lorries?

Selfishness is rife in this house too!!

My fire has been on most of day, but now dying down as heating has came on.

TooManyNiblings · 19/11/2024 16:59

Loving it here, and we have no snow yet!

No because our stove is tiny and all my remaining logs are too long and my big saw is broken. She will be lit after a chilly run to the garage for emergency bags of small logs.

TheTecknician · 19/11/2024 17:02

Cats and dogs love a fire.

I agree with this. They're like something out of the dark ages. Family members are suffering so badly. Crazy selfish.
