Probably. The price of all heating fuels tends to go down in the non-heating season.0

The price of logs is mainly linked to shipping prices. Most logs sold these days are kiln dried in Eastern Europe and shipped over here by container.0

My local borough council wants to widen its smoke control restricted area to the whole of its jurisdiction. I live in a small village with a very large number of houses that have big non-defra wood burners. I haven't lit my stove since the Russian invasion due to the high cost of smokeless fuel now so I'm not really as affected as the many here that really rely on their stoves for heating.0
