I don’t think you can still buy wood burners that don’t afterburn or something, secondary burn maybe is the phrase.

 

Do they have a law in the uk about moisture content from fire wood suppliers?

 Newer stoves , burn more efficiently and re burn some of the gases , our stove is exempt from the legislation.

Second thing yes or apparently so with moisture content .

Well I’ve read the article, it’s basically saying they might ban the sale of older less efficient ones, which on the face of it, seems reasonable.

 

The use of the word ‘plots’ and ‘plotting’ in the subheadline whips a few people up which was the intention I suppose.

Not dirty wood, wet wood. Piles of freshly cut wood delivered to people who know no better trying to burn it because they are so unorganised they didn't get it delivered three years previously and stashed it away to dry in a shed and are too cheap to buy properly seasoned wood.

It is a rehash I think of what was before so anyone with a stove installed won't be required to replace it, just more controls of what you can sell new.

 

It is a Labour thing is week so the Telegraph is very angry this morning. 18 months ago it was a Tory thing so the Guardian was very angry.

 

As for wood - the ready to burn scheme is an attempt to make wood have a maximum moisture content, else it needs to be sold with a note telling you how to dry it and you can only sell limited quantities (? I think)... though of course you can sell it like that and the customer can stash it in the rain by the back porch, there is nothing to require them to keep it dry.

Is it that time of year yet when we plot to ban those really bright car headlights?
