And a nice little tutorial for customers

I note they show bottom up fire lighting when I thought a top down method was better (i.e. put some large bits at the bottom then kindling on top)?

 

I also can't help feeling the people who watch these videos already know what they are doing and it's those people who don't that need to be told.

So if we burn logs or let them rot, it’s a neutral balence !

Not quite. Burning a log will generally carry a larger carbon footprint as there will be crude oil based fuel consumed in chopping it down, snedding it, clogging it, transporting it and potentially kiln drying it. 

 

Even if (as you claim) the only Crude Oil you use is in your Diesel Van, ie, you chop all your trees down by hand, saw them into clogs by hand, split them all by hand and then transport them by hand and season them outside you will still release the carbon at a significantly higher speed than natural decay. You're also depriving the habitat of the decaying process as many insects and birds need that process to live.
