Dramatic headlines but when you read it there isn't a ban - It seems some stupid people have been burning wet wood and causing pollution.
I have had wood burners since 1980s and at my old house I had three and I can never remember burning wet wood.
In the 80's you could get wood for next to nothing and I also scrounged loads and all of it was stacked and dried.
Here I have 5 log stores and as one is empty I buy more wood wet or dry but it's sitting there for a year or more.
When I cleaned the chimney at old house all I got out was just over half a bucket of soot and that house had 8ft 6" ceiling and high roof so it wasn't a short chimney.
Here its less than half bucket (Bungalow)
Is this another back door money making scheme by the gov. -it's a wonder they haven't upped the tax on it.
To be honest I should stop burning wood and buy heating oil instead as it would be much cheaper but I do like warming my tootsies on the hearth.
Just off out into garage and cut a load of starting sticks.
