Anti log burner brigade

[MrGrumpy]

I’m sensing an anti log burner vibe on twitter these days . Seems to come from mostly those posters whom have switched away from traditional heat sources and shelled out the cash on the new alternatives.
Best one I read was a a poster whom had moved to the countryside to get away from it all and has decided to moan about folks burning wood ! Fairly common practice out in the sticks round my way !

Log burners are worse than witches, tie them to a stake and burn them.

I used to fire up the fire place a few times each winter to enjoy the sight and smell of a good fire, especially around Christmas.

Then we burned the end wall out of the house and put a 6 foot hole in the roof, caused by a defect in the original construction of the chimney.

Now we have one less fireplace and it now burns gas.

Took me a few years, but I like the smell again.

But I’ll stick with central gas heating…

Decades of smog, cancer and pollution led to the introduction of the clean air act and then the gullible were conned into spending a fortune to start poisoning their local environment again.

I'm a huge fan of open fires, either coal or logs. They are hopelessly inefficient but superb for the soul. Sticking a living flame behind a door is all wrong.

Let he who has never turned an ignition key cast the first kindling.

I find an old 185/65R14 keeps burning all night. Needs to be Michelin though. Chinese ditch-finders don't last.

In my part of the world burning old car tyres in very popular, sadLy they still have the unfortunate owners car still attached.

Whilst the Government is telling us all our gas central heating is evil ? If you need a log fire then that's fine. If it's just a fashion accessory, then it's not.

My neighbour (bob the dodgy builder) installed one in his perfectly modern house which doesn't have a chimney/fireplace. There is a beautiful stainless steel flue up the side of his house (I joke). He then started burning any old wood on it (building waste). We live in a clean air zone, so only approved stoves and planning/building permission is needed. He didn't have any. I may have gone round after his 'burning' stunk my house out for the whole day (I'm 200 yards away). Him not being at all reasonable and threattening to 'knock me out', made I laugh, and told him I'd report him to the council. He had a visit and there was no planning permission for it/no building regs. Let's say, I've had no stinky emissions from it since.

If you need one fine, if it's in a town/place where there are clean air zones, no.
