Working in just a t shirt it get warm and humid and I was soon dripping sweat. Weird isn't it.

Indeed. I was the same today and was only washing the cars. Fire was lit at around 18:00 to take the chill off.

Looking at the forecast it will be touch and go tonight, although the house feels comfortable currently.  Looks like it then warms up so I can clean the stove out and thoroughly sweep the hearth etc at the weekend I reckon.... Fingers crossed.  Let's hope for a warm summer and mild autumn so it doesn't need lighting again for a while.

Same here. I’ll be burning the whole year as the kitchen stove does the cooking and hot water.

The living room stove still gets lit at 07:00 but we will see how long that carries on for.

I’m not paying £1.17 a litre for heating oil. Either the price comes down and I will buy more or we will continue to run two stoves which costs me virtually nothing to run.

With the wood fired central heating going in later this summer I hope my oil dependency in the winter months drips to near on zero.


We moved away from oil and onto just wood fired central heating over 12 years ago - best decision ever!

The stove paid for itself within a year against the price of the oil and the amount we went through trying to get the house just above freezing temperatures.

And with all my firewood being almost free (just time, fuel for the chainsaws/splitters etc), 24 hour heat and hot water, no gas or oil bills - it’s a no brainer.
