    We used to have a solid fuel Rayburn in the kitchen and that would just burn wood for fun. But my Dad had an accident with the chainsaw and nearly sliced his foot off. So we had an oil one installed and that does heating and hot water. The lounge has a little stove but there is no radiator in there and it's quite a big room so takes a while to heat up.

    Wood is split logs and is stored in the shed opposite - space is not a problem :D

    Softwood costs about £70/tonne and hardwood £90/tonne it is well seasoned and burns well. Wouldn't touch telegraph poles though as they contain a lot of tar.


    We used to have sold fuel Rayburn too as there was no gas in the village when we first moved here. One evening when the children were tiny, I was getting them ready for bed. I stripped off their clothes, opened the Rayburn door and threw them on the fire thinking it was the washing machine:eek:

    Oh happy days:D

    It gets madder.

    We get a water softener, so we can't drink water that has been softened. But we do want the kitchen tap water to be free of limescale so we get a filter r/o that filters the softened water to remove the excess sodium. Then we find that trace minerals are also removed from the water, so I take a multi-mineral supplement every day.

    I haven't heard that the pure water also draws out minerals in your body, only that it doesn't contain essential trace minerals. I would have thought it would have been banned as your drinking water tap if it really was capable of drawing out stuff in your body.

    I use mine for my marine fish tank.

    To get rid of contaminants and stop limescale a granulated carbon filter would do the job. Around 30-40 quid for the unit and 5 or 6 quid every 6 months for a new filter.
