Thank you to Tanya Gupta of BBC News Online for the Headline
I had my suspicion about wood burners, mainly because wood burns very quickly and though it doesn’t create as much smoke as coal or peat, it can’t be a very efficient way of creating warmth in your home, never mind heating water for washing up and showers.
Thanks to Guildford Borough Council for having a “Clean Air Night” and encouraging those with woodburners to turn them off in the middle of January , just after Christmas and help the environment.
The council’s information said that wood burning led to air pollution , which in turn could lead to heart and lung disease and also an increased risk of diabetes and dementia.
So there you go, I was right, wood burners may look trendy and warm but they are harbingers of doom.
