Any Renters?

I have rented for the last 35 years, 29 years of that was what you might call "council housing" although these days its Housing Association(I don't know anywhere these days that is still COUNCIL houses). just after we moved in here I asked HA if we could put in a wood burning stove at our own expense-the answer was a resounding NO-"all our houses are smokeless" what they actually meant is there ALL ELECTRIC, no chimneys, no fireplaces. I've got the usual camping stoves, rocket stove, mobile gas heater for heating for the short term but for the long term I have a wood burning stove all ready to be fitted(its one a friend made out of an old gas cylinder) when SHTF, and yes I have a store of wood ready to go(small amount at the moment but growing daily).
