If they become too popular the HMRC, hiding behind anti-smog declarations, will start taxing wood, house chimneys, etc etc

some areas are declared "smoke free" not that this will make any difference post SHTF.

good point ls , iv heated my home now for over 20yrs for free on scrap wood , the more folk who buy these things will all be looking for free wood and as soon as people see a market for it a price will follow.
a lot of the rural factory units around by me now heat them with scrap wood , you cant blame them , many building sites used to throw the chippys off cuts in the skip [easy one for me] but now days I don't bother theirs always someone on site takeing them home.
the next thing we will see is folk chopping down other peoples trees , as the cost to keep warm goes up and up.
this has already started around here , people have had their log piles raided , also oil tanks and red d .

Most residential areas are smoke free - rule of thumb is, if you have mains gas, you will be in a smoke free area. However, if you are a smoke free zone, just buy a DEFRA approved stove.
Dont have a problem collecting scrap pallets, could easily get 15 a day from the couple of factories I have permission from at the moment.
