Mr Sam Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 with the nights drawing in and colder mornings ive started lighting my fire, takes a while to warm up but when its going the room is unbearably hot in the main house the log burner also does all the radiators, our gas bill was 93p the other year anyone else got a solid fuel fire/log burner/aga etc

Stu_B Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Grew up in a house with a logburner & a rayburn. No central heating & used the rayburn for cooking as well as hot water
Toby Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Have logs - lovely Do logs - not so pleasant
Rick Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 got one in the garage but its too much effort to keep it burning and sometimes you geta backdraft and fill the garage with smoke
escortmad79 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 We live in a "flatpack modern crap"TM so all we have are radiators
numbnuts Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 I have a proper open fire and it's the biz on a cold evening ot lazy Sunday afternoon. We do toast and marshmallows on it too sometimes. _________________ Crime insurance Forum

sab6024 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 We have an open fire and a Rayburn in the kitchen which heats all the radiators around the house
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 we have gas central heating and its King expensive this year
Copey Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 we have a coal fire in the back room, its great!
surfingturnip Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 coal and wood burners in most rooms in the house, some bricked up but most not. We've also got a lovely pot bellied stove in the kitchen
Fishtailparka Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 I fitted a new log fired AGA type thing in my kitchen this year, heats the water (very hot!) does the central heating and cooking. Bloody brilliant! I did have oil for a few years, but as the price went from 13p/litre to 70p/litre there was no way I could afford to run it. My Living room has no radiators, just another log burner. (gets hot!) I have never been keen on chopping logs, but also bought a log splitter for on my tractor. I enjoy it so much now I have run out of room for the logs. I reckon I have over 20 tons in my shed. All renewable energy too, the logs are trees I planted myself.
Trevmk3 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 my uncle has got a coal fire, really nice in the winter
Fiesta Steve Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 We haven't got gas where we live, apparently its expensive ? We have an open fire in the living room, lovely on a cold winters day
D4N Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Log burner Big shed in the garden full of logs and coal
Mrs O/H/C Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 central heating.. gas fire AND a open fire !!! Lovely and warm
Messenjah Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 over here we have gas fired central heating but also an open fire in the living room in ireland we have solar powrered under floor heating solid fuel aga in the kitchen heating the water fireplaces in 3 rooms and a wood burning stove in another should be nice and toasty
marky4 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 got an open fire in the lounge, can't beat it on a cold wet sunday afternoon / evening
Silverback Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Got a Wood Burner in the lounge and a shed full of timber from ripping the old extension down. Throws out a silly amount of heat, which is just as well considering the only thing between outside and one of our lounge walls consists of a sheet of 22mm Ply covered in visqueen to keep the rain out...
Mr Sam Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Posted November 7, 2008 good to see so many people have rayburns, im still trying to work out how to use the damn electric cooker here it just burns things and drys them out
