Try to store a very limited amount of wood inside the house at any time. Try to burn it within 24hrs every time. Wood worms love timber floors, door posts etc.

i foresee a new article in The Guardian: 'Cooking Kills'.
Thanks for this!
Lots of people complain about their neighbours having a wood burner: they smell it etc. I would be interested to know what the readings are when you go outside and try to find...
It’ll be fine now. Small chance that the lowest row of logs will contain more moisture.
Just burn this, take out the lowest row and put down a cut-up pallet. Store the 2023/24 supply and put the...
That may help. My burners’ wood is air-dryed in the shed.
Consider/measure this season how much you burn (m3). A full season is about 2x what you’ll burn now, until Spring. From there you can decide how large the shed should be. Ikea-style sheds are good. I...
Very good info about the PM meter! Thanks for that.

I have mentioned this fine piece of technology before on these pages. For once, a cheap Stihl product. Recommended.

The first article by Monbiot: Looking at his bio online and and flicking through his Insta pics, I would be amazed that he would write something else than this.
Mind you, Green political parties...
As a hardcore woodburner user (we have three, a forth is to be installed next Summer), I can say I'm impressed with this set-up!! Btw, that bucket is cool!
As said, my wife confiscated my workshop's fan. There it's noisy (the stove acts as a loudspeaker???) but on the smaller stove in my wife's office, it's absolutely quiet.
Thermal fan is great. Not too expensive. Great Xmas gift for the family. I have one in my workshop and it helps heating the area where the workbenches are. My wife has captured the fan for her office...
A free-standing wood burner generates more heat than a built-in wood burner. You have to take that into account when you're referring to Kms. In real life: the Dovré free-standing, 3 KW burner gives...
Quoting myself here. I did the paint-stripper-heating-gun trick and it absolutely works! Another thumbs up for this forum. Even my wife agrees with that!
Excellent advice! Thanks!!!! I'm going to give it try. Trick-by-trick.
I'm looking for a trick or an advice. I don't know if I use the correct terms for all parts, but here we go:
One of our wood burners has its flue (chimney) mainly on the outside of the house. And...
I bought a log burner fan to spread the heat of the burner through my workshop/barn. I have a free-standing stove/burner and I want more heat where I have my workbench. That part of of the barn hyas...
Do you own a house with a mechanic ventilation system? That will produce a low pressure system in the house, basically 'sucking' fumes from the burner into the house instead of through the flue. My...
Indeed! That helps to accelerate the 'real' fire. What you use depends on the length of the flue. In our case(s) a few 'dots' of paper do the trick.
Nice! Clean lines.
… and a burning fire makes a great Season’s Greetings card as well…

First, I had to find the Dutch word for hawthorne... (meidoorn). That's good wood for the burner. It's important (any type of wood) that it's dry. 'Dry' as in: it had the chance to dry for at least...
We have 3 burners (living room; wife’s office; my barn) and with my own forest, We have enough wood to burn until the end of days. Last year we used 4 m3 of properly dried wood to keep us...
