I've recently bought a wood-burning stove, and the place I found locally
which supplies logs and kindling (went there today to stock up for the
winter)


Good grief! You'll be a bit parky during the winter months then Andy!

We have a woodburning stove in the lounge and we have a delivery of logs
every 5 weeks or so. We also burn logs and other bits of wood from the
garden and we know a carpenter who give us all his offcuts to save going
down the dump.
This JUST keeps us ticking over though if it gets really cold we have to
go and get some coal!


:-) I actually just bought a couple of £2 bags - I'm having the stove
installed the week after next, and need some just to fire it up to make sure
it's working OK. I'm going to get a bunker out the back for the bulk
deliveries!

The stove I've bought is a Morso "Dove Cleanheat 1630", which I've just
today discovered is oversized for my terraced cottage. The bloke who's
installing it has suggested that I put an extra radiator in my loft to get
rid of some of the heat! What I'll probably do is line the firebox with
bricks to make it smaller. But hopefully I won't be cold this winter!

Thanks for the concern, though!

Take care,

Andy
