Clocks have changed so it’s open fire time, let’s see your open fires or log burners.

Here is ours.

Make sure that picture is hung on something substantial, not those plastic things with three pins.

Heat from flue if not fully insulated can make the wall quite warm, which makes the plastic brittle.

You can guess the rest. :ohmy:
That picture is very rigidly hung on metal screws and mounting brackets - with the cost of the commission and the sentimental value of the subject weren’t going to skimp on hanging! The flue is well-insulated too, with no appreciable thermal transfer to the wall in this room or the room above (much to my daughter’s dismay). Appreciate the concern though.

Never understand this thing where people have their fires etc on or off at specific times of the year. :smile:

We live in very warm house so only really use it from late autumn

Here's one of mine in the bike shed. I get it going on wood, then switch to coal, which burns slowly and steadily. Doesn't take a lot to keep the whole workshop at 28°C all day long.

That "home is where the heart is" plaque being right next to small fire arms and rifles has me in stitches. Absolutely no idea why i find it hilarious but i do...
