Probably cough-laughing. Particle emissions will probably kill another two or three hundred on top of the normal 1200 a year.
Enjoy those carcinogens lads.
Shed full of turf. All set. 👍🏻
I bought our house last October. It’s very unusual and has 4 wood burning stoves all linked up to heat the house. All I had to do was get the wood. For the first time in my life I didn’t have to worry about heating. It’s brilliant, it works perfectly and it’s affordable. I highly recommend it.
What about those of us that live in a tropical climate?
Wood burning stove… with a back burner!
You could argue the time (or money) invested in getting that wood is still vastly more than gas would be, but even then, chopping and cleaving wood is just a very satisfying and enjoyable activity.
No ill just keep hitting the button on the gas. No mess to clean. don’t have to chop wood or go outside during bad weather to bring it in….
Much better if you can source your own wood though, from someones yard trees that need trimming or something, as the cost of wood is also high, but still not as high as electricity, etc.
The fire department is gonna be busy this winter.
Bought a cube of wood the other day. I’m interested to see how it lasts. Will still put the gas on for a bit in the morning and early evening, but will light a fire for the colder evenings. Luckily the house is a B1 ber rating, which does help
Who’s laughing? The doctors in your area.
Who’s not laughing? Your lungs.
Fire wood keeps you warm 3 times,
When you’re collecting it, when you’re splitting it, when you’re burning it.
Ray Mears apparently.
People with the “no mess” or “your poor lungs” comments. Pipe down. I don’t care. Imma be snug as fuck with my stove and I’ll take the 5 minutes to clean it each morning and relight it. What’ll be will be with my lungs. It’s either those or my heart when the gas bill comes through the door or your wan down in corrib wants me to remortgage the house for a sup of oil.
Stick anthracite in it
Some ppl will be doing recycling this winter and separating rubbish into two piles one can be burned during the day and other during the night
Firewood costs have gone right up too though unfortunately. Well at least the kiln dried stuff. The stuff I get is gone up 50% from last year.
You’re into a bit of a lottery unless you are buying off an established local lad or have your own supply of trees that you process and season yourself.
We’ve been stocking up all summer. Bring on the cold!
There are 4 stoves around the house. Each one is linked up to the other via chimneys under the floors and in the walls. They spread the heat around through that system. It was built by a German family before we bought the place. Unfortunately it doesn’t heat the water but hoping to rectify that when we can
Also there are no radiators in the house.
We run the gas off the electricity and the electricity off the gas and we save two hundred pounds a year.
Annoying thing about the A1/A2 rated houses is that they have no chimneys to put a stove in as a backup if the heat pump or the electricity supply dies.
Virgin coal fire vs chad wood burning enjoyer
Wood burning stove + back boiler + 14 months ago I had to cut down 4 decent trees so I have about 2 years worth of seasoned wood now. Who’s laughing now putin 😀
Can anyone explain the difference between a wood burning and regular stove pls?

Im sure the government will find a way to clamp down on us too.
Ha, look at these non-pellet-boiler peasants.
*Chortle Chortle*
In an apartment with storage heating – fucked
Add in a rainwater system, and back boiler.
Ya, I just bought a wooly Aran jumper. I’ll be grand
Who’s laughing now? I’d guess Arlene Foster.
Which reminds me, I haven’t used my fireplace in ages
What a bout a good old open fire? Doesn’t send the heat into the house as well as a stove but a true classic none the less.
Live not too far from boggy ground always fit to find a dead or fallen tree to cut up for the winter
We gonna see a lot more beefy lads after winter
Lads with sheds full of turf and a back boiler in their stove. That’s who’s laughing now.
Bit Fucked if you’re in a built up area
Turf men are the new sheikhs in Ireland
Passive house with solar powered heat pump says what?
Certainly not the environment
Wood has a few advantages. It’s renewable, it could be free. It produces a nice flame. Good timber burns to very little ash and the ash can be used as fertiliser unlike coal ash. Timber based briquettes are an outstanding fuel and great alternative to peat products. Good timber is easy to light.
It also has disadvantages. Kiln dried is likely very expensive and can burn very fast and hot in a stove, so you have to manage the stove. Particulate mater off the smoke is relatively high in the average stove so not great for urban air quality. If you’ve your own, you must store it for 12+ months to season and keep it dry. Burning wet wood can result in rapid soot and tar buildup leabing high risk of chimney fire. Getting the right type can be a mine field – all wood is not equal. Treated Wood must be avoided, but people will burn anything they can get their hands on.
Fucking hardwood is pricey too lads, quit the gouging!
They require wood which requires labour/money and is proportionally more expensive tho.

Turf and timber. The fuel of the gods….
Few shticks, be grand
