Wood burning stoves are annoying and OVERRATED and now I've read they cause THREE TIMES more air pollution than road traffic!

[flashbac]

I have one (came with the house) and it's such a high maintenance beast. Wood isn't cheap either. It makes a mess too. So overrated and harmful to the environment.

Love ours - it is lit every night from November to early March. We buy local logs in the summer and stack them to dry out over the warm season.

Missing point entirely

We have a bio ethanol fire. It’s pretty, instant and very clean. Real flames give such a cosy focus.

@MrsSkylerWhite I've been looking at these can I ask your opinion on them? Is it just a nice visual or do they produce heat? I'm keen on the environmental credits as opposed to wood fires“

Very happy with ours. It’s not a primary heat source but yes, it does also produce heat.
