May I take it that you're all living in the countryside, with plenty of space and not crammed in to city living with lots of other people with active wood burners and solid fuel stoves then?

Don’t call it waste


Why not? It was what my mate called it and it was no longer fit for purpose. Like garden waste it could be recycled and was.

He's just been shampooed and rinsed in the local river and likes nothing better than drying in front of the fire







Love how a one size fits all approach is taken on this.
Out in the sticks here sometimes the burner is our only source of heat during power cuts as the Boiler won't light or worse we run out of gas for our tank, not so bad these days with telemetry.


ur lab looks nearly as stressed out as mine after a swim Whistle

Yep, but its the city folk who have no idea of country living making these daft rules so we all get tarred with the same brush.

Funny enough I moved out of the Town couple of years ago to a village and walking the dog on cold nights the air is foul due to chimney smoke - mainly coal fires I suspect - it was better in the town Laughing

Ha ha! Very Happy

I'm on the edge of a village on the edge of Bodmin Moor, so no gas either and we use oil.

The problem seems to be that, unless you live in a Smokeless Zone (from the 1950's), then people can burn pretty much what they want, when they want to. If a whole load of stoves go in, anything can go on them (scrap wood, painted wood - potentially lead painted, general waste - heck, even used engine oil, apparently!) and there's nothing to control it. If that's a larger town, or something in a valley, it could get pretty nasty.

I can see a good reason to introduce controls where it could become a real local public health issue.
