    Just out of curiosity, does anyone with a wood burner own a moisture meter so they know their wood is dry enough? Do they know if they've got the high efficiency burner or an older model that's not high efficiency? Do they know for sure that they're not adding to the pollution of their neighbourhood considering the research by highly reputable institutions putting domestic wood high up there as an issue? 

    I'm just wondering how much longer domestic wood burners have.  Once gas central heating goes there might be more pressure on government to force change in other polluting house heating systems. It's already started with controls on wood supply and burner designs allowed to be sold coming into affect I believe. I'm not sure if want to get one now

    Certainly firewood is no longer the economical option that it used to be. When we lived on a smallholding we had a wood fired cooking and central heating system … there’s no way Id consider installing that now.
