again, i dont disagree, but even "lurkers" who never post on the forum are learning from the threads, what i mean is those who would never come on this site..in any shape or form..........and therefore learn nothing, then WTSHTF will be screaming for the govt to save them.

and absolute MUST .........even if you have a gas fire / boiler well worth the investment don,t forget you can,t see it....you can,t smell it...carbon mynoxide is the silent KILLER ....so get a monitor folks!!!!

Most chimney fires are started by bird nesting material built up over the warmer spring/summer months catching fire.
Buy yourselves a chimney cowl (or cap for disused chimneys).

i think lighting a fire common sence till last year when some campers down the road
bought logs from us and said last night we try to light fire with just paper and large logs hope less we told them how to do it paper /toilet rolls tubes/sticks /small dry logs
and they got it right
people should learn these things from mum/dad and at school
