The UK collapsing fast

a reply to: SprocketUK

Yup, with the basis being people went bonkers opening up their old chimneys and installing log burners just a couple of years ago to save on their winter fuel costs.
However, it was because they were burning unseasoned wood which "contributes to global warming" etc..... it was a fine introduced by the Cons.

Yeah, my house in Gloucester has a woodburner, we put it in when the gas boiler went poof.
It does the hot water and radiators too.
1st one was 80 quid off ebay, the second cost me 700 quid that I won on the geegees

Runs ace on chopped up pallet wood and builders scrap.

Aye, wood by the looks of it.

Crazy.

And how are they going to implement that one? LoL

May be worth getting a carbon monoxide detector if you don't have one already (should be free or couple of quid from council or fire brigade) as the equations for flues are very tight between optimal heating the house and ventyiliating nasty gasses outside vs nasty gasses entering the house with the heat. Designed and built my sisters and a lot of it is the same vectoring optimisation used on Harrier/F-35B.

I remember reading years ago they were going to use a 'sniffer' vehicle to drive round and monitor emissions for paticular particulate sizes given off by unseasoned wood but seemed a stupid plan as the gathered evidence would be completely unreliable due to wind direction, speed, temperature, nearby cars, bbqs, bonfires etc...

The vehicle itself would likely give off more CO2, carbon monoxide and nasty particulates than it could detect from a fire unless it was on a 50ft+ pole. Wood that has been creosoted has a really nasty smell that can be detected for miles but other than that they're not going to know.

I thinking they will have about as much luck as the likes of ""TV licence detection vans"" of days gone by. LoL

Thanks, got one and 4 times the req'd ventilation.



I think they are going to rely on grasses to be honest.

Coffee and grape seed logs are good.

Expensive though. Especially compared to broken old pallets etc.
