  4. cream enamelled traditional style stove my wife chose it. it looks ok but only a small fire box
  5. 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. If I have to buy logs in it will be cheaper to use the gas as for solar panels the domestic side grants has stopped and after 15 years they are only producing at 50% so by 20 years need replacing so have only paid four them selves
