Nothing beats a roaring log fire and that lovely smell of burning wood.
Since records began wood has been used to: cook on, heat homes, light fires and a place for the family to gather around to stay warm. Nowadays, although not as primitive, our passion and appreciation for wood still continues; you may now cook on a pizza oven or BBQ and sit around a Chiminea or fire pit but there is nothing we are surer of – an open fire or wood burning stove is the heart of the home.
Nothing is also more truly sustainable than wood, as a carbon neutral fuel and helps the environment. Burning truly seasoned wood releases carbon dioxide. This is absorbed from the atmosphere and used for growth by other trees and plants. As a result using wood from sustainably managed trees reduces net CO2 production compared to using fossil fuels. This means that heating using wood can significantly reduce our reliance on fossil fuels while also reducing our CO2 emissions. Burning wood is also real. There is nothing like the ambiance and radiant warmth of burning wood - whether it's at a campfire or a cook-out, on a fireplace hearth, or in a wood burning stove. It's a fundamentally creative exercise. Every fire is different, every day. It makes a house a home.
