    A new gas fire versus a stove.
    Bearing in mind I am worried about the rise in energy prices.
    My energy costs are my biggest outgoing,
    People with CP feel the cold more.
    I will have to borrow the money.
    THOUGHTS.  Thanks.

    Beanie you need to keep warm….when you say stove so you mean a cooking stove or heating stove? Is it surplus to central heating as an extra or your only means of heating? Questions, questions 😂😂…sorry 😵‍💫

    Do you mean a woodburning stove, Beanie? If so, I'd suggest you check what's going on with regulations as part of your decision making - some basically produce air pollution and they will soon be regulated.  

    I heard something about them no longer being allowed in council properties, but I haven't noticed anything about private properties yet.
