  6. positive for me was burning the stuff I produced from work it saved tip costs and kept me warm now I have retired so not a lot of wood coming in the negative is the wife she struggles to light it, complains its dirty, and says when I leave this earth she will get it taken out and replace with a gas fire we have gas c/h but forgets the time when the beast from the east was here we had a power cut for 4 hours and the stove kept us warm

I have a wood burner in the room in winter the gas central heating goes on about half a hour before we get ready for bed, I used to get about enough wood to run for winter but now have retired I only get bits and bobs not enough for the hole winter even started to use next winters stock this winter.
