Having got the wood shed well stocked I'm looking forward to some evenings by the fire and was chatting to a chap with a wood burner. He felt that open fires were not as good as wood burners and proceeded to lecture on the merits of his chosen heat source.
I readily accept that wood burners are more efficient. Mum has an old Rayburn that provides warmth, hot water and the best cakes around! You can be sure that when it's alight everyone that comes in leans their bum on the rail at the front
