Hi SS

Agreed the rose tinted view of a lovely wood fire roaring away in the inglenook completely ignores the effort needed to aquire, store, and in particular convert fuel.

Currently 8 cords of seasond wood in the store, of which one cord is converted ready fr burning. Another 2 cords due in the next month, this is to replace what we expect to burn this winter.

Consumption this year will be interesting as new stove to update our existing 40 year old one is due to be delivered next week. We are hopeful thattis will give us sonme improved efficiency.
