Anyone still light their stove over Winter?

I've had miine on once or twice. Going to stockpile a lot of coal - doubles and superheat from Greers of lisburn, in a few weeks.

  • Hi Highrisk, yes had the stove lit a few chilly wet miserable evenings, has been an awful summer so far.
    The house seems more homely with the stove lit, always makes me feel better whatever the weather is doing. :)
    I tend to use any scrappy wood and keep the best stuff for mid winter.

    Willie.

    Once or twice when its been super wet and nippy outside.

    Like williwood there only using the scrappy bits off wood saving the good stuff for the colder weather.

    Like you will be getting deliveries of smokeless from beginning of Sept to see me through the winter. Have had the wood being delivered the past two months and its drying lovely in the car port
