As per title , this is a shrub that seems to be quite common in Torbay , not seen it in other local areas ...the distinctive opposite leaves with each pair at 90 degrees to the next is quite distinctive ...not Portuguese laurel !!

If I have a special bit of wood that I wish to remain "green" until I rough turn it then I wrap it in pallet wrap ( industrial clingfilm ) especially during the spring / summer months ...in winter just a shaded place is fine .

I own some Douglas fir woodland and have burnt plenty of it !! I tend to leave it laid around for a year or 2 until the bark falls off , or is easily removed ...i think it burns better without the bark ( as most woods seem to ) , can be a pain for splinters ,makes great kindling , it burns pretty quick but gives out decent heat ...great to mix with other wood that can be a bit lazy ..esp oak

It appears that if you already have one then no change until 2028....it seems to be about "benefit in kind" if you are supplied one as a company vehicle , not sure on the situation for owner drivers , farmers for example ??

It is the claims that the PM2.5 particles in the house of a woodburner are so high as to be a serious health risk that bewilders me , if this is the case are there high levels of illness / health problems with owners directly attributable to the woodburner ??
-
Not afraid of anything , just not sure the cost will be justified , as well as potential hassle / restrictions going forward .

There does seem to be a growing movement of Anti Woodburners going on , I regularly see articles about it , often grossly exaggerated claims , but it is hard to disprove once they are said ...I am moving house soon to one without a woodburner and not too sure of I will fit one ...
