[Pete Grey]

We live in a bungalow with gas ( mains ) central heating, we have a multi fuel stove in the main living room, and we have to use smokeless fuel. When the stove is lit it cuts the gas heating out, with doors open temperature is a minimum 22C - 23C throughout the house. We use about 3/4 ton of fuel over the winter, keeping the fire lit 24/7 through bad weather. Fortunately at 74 I am fit enough carry fuel, clean out the ash and maintain the fire, I dread the time when I am not. The fire as I write this is keeping a pot of coffee nice and hot...... nice.
