Has anybody got a fire or logburner lit at home today?

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.

In my corner of Scotland we have plenty of snow. No school for my children so far this week, the buses haven’t made it up our rural road.

We have a log burner ...wouldn't be without it. The heat it throws out is incredible and in this weather its absolutely wonderful!

Love my log burner. We only use kiln dried wood, hardly use the gas boiler, or the tumble dryer. How do the naysayers heat their houses when it’s cold?
My granny lived to the ripe old age of 101, was one of 14 siblings and the youngest age at death was 89. They had open coal fires from infancy til the 1980’s, and even then granny kept her open coal fire as she lived the smell of burning coal!
Some people will be affected by the particulates from all sources of power in the atmosphere, others not so much,

That sounds horrible. I wouldn’t have one in town or village but we have one because we get frequent power cuts. We also have no neighbours, back arse of nowhere here. Nearest farm is several miles away.

Pic attached.

Maybe the wood is too wet. I think our wood has to be under 20% moisture content as we are in a smoke controlled area.

Is that an open fire?

We have recently moved to a house with an open fire and ashamed to say I don't know how to use it! What do we burn? Logs? Coal?

We are just about to install a gas burner, looks like a log burner, acts like a log burner but alas it is a lookalike. We live in an urban area and I’ve so much research on pollution and I cant in all conscience install one, especially now as I have a tiny grandson and another on the way. Log burner pollutant is harmful to young babies. We are going for this:

Yeah not a fan here either... they are actually really bad for the environment!
We have an eco fuel fire, runs off ethanol.

We have our windows open a bit for ventilation and the smell of our neighbours comes in and ruins the washing every day.

Lovely!!

Snow & log burner 🤢the Envy is real

Totally selfish!!

I'd be turning the heating down/off & keeping the log burner on!!

Pure comfort and joy.....

We have 2 stoves. This one has been lit most of the day. We are in a village so no mains gas. We have an oil boiler and 2 stoves which keep our Victorian house warm. All our neighbours have the same.
