Isn't it gas, the things we get up to. These days i just put the newspapers into the compost. I suppose it's the lazy way out, but i get some great compost. In our old house we needed to get as much heat as possible from the fire as there was practically no insulation. I'm glad to say the new house (council) has come a long way. We spent 20 years in a freezing house and now if we try to burn coal, as we did the week after we moved in, we had to open windows and doors and take off our jumpers. Good insulation makes it easy to heat as all we burn now is timber and turf. Awww the smell of the turf. Kilk might save me a bit from the bog.
