Wood burning stoves or open fires?

Stoves should put negligible nasties into the room in which they reside as overall the air flow is into them and up the chimney.

Stoves apparently AFAIK. Main problem is wood that is not properly dried with bark/moss/lichen on it.

I don't have one so I wasn't much interested. Source was a mate who is a CEng. and RICS [?] who is involved with such amongst other things ...

Although he's not 'chartered' enough to put a bolt in his mower without cross-threading it I might add.. :bang: :bang: so maybe he can safely be ignored ... :lol:

This might be a slanted reference to such goings on but it appears to refer to external air ??

Dunno :scratch: ... to clever for the likes of me for sure ...

Nah,

"The secret of woodburners is dry sticks" quote from Nigel The Builder who installed mine, and he's right. Anything damp will blacken up the front glass and thus block a lot of the radiant heat, so you make sure the wood has been well dried before using it. The only health hazard I see is from burning Tanalised or otherwise treated timber; that must put a certain amount of Copper / Chrome / Arsenic compounds into the environment. Mind you they can't be all that bad, I've still got a splinter of decking in my bum and it's been there for a couple of months. :)

Wasn't it Longfellow who wrote
'But tis ashwood wet or dry

or don't people learn poetry now?

And this policeman thingy? Old as tea. I recall one that used to stand on the road into Lermoos in Austria until it disappeared. That was about 20 years ago but there is another there now.
It was sort of looking at me as I tanked the Audi up for the return over the Rhine and into France and home.

The earlier one disappeared having being nicked. Actually, it went home to England--- and into- wait for it - an English 'nick'. Twas a lady rozzer wat did it me'lud :)
