Winter Warmer
November 30, 2008
I’m saving my pennies, as next year, I want to replace my open fire with a wood or multi-fuel stove.
Why?
My current 1950’s open fire is likely to be only 20% efficient, and although I am burning wood that is locally sourced and managed, it sticks in my throat that 80% goes up the chimney.
Gas prices are only ever going to go up, and if a stove turns the tables to 80% efficiency, I can leave my doors open and heat the house with those local logs, and keep the central heating off.
