Great article although I do burn artificial logs Nothing better than sitting down writing “poems about life” next to a warm fire whether the logs are real or not.

"the new Government also give support to people who likes solar and wind energy." Does this government gives any tax benefit for private investment in such energy?

Solar heating is the future. In Croatia we invest a lot in this kind of energy as the new Government also give support to people who likes solar and wind energy.
I am sure this is the best way to save the planet.

Hi Maryj,
Apparently you live in a region where the prevailing winter weather is dry. Here in the Pacific Northwest, moisture is the one thing we can count on during winter. It may be mild or cold, foggy or snowy, but it's almost always high humidity. If we go away for a weekend, we come back to a damp, cold house which takes over a day of heating to bring back the warmth and dryness.
Have I ever heated and lived in a home in winter? Yes, for over 30 years!
My wife's parents live in Bend Oregon where it is very dry, it's a high desert region. In winter, they store firewood outdoors and bring it in only in small amounts because it's either frozen or very cold. This may release some moisture in the house, but it also introduces more cold, which they don't want.

The article said that bringing in wood with moisture on it may release humidity in your home. Have you ever heated and lived in a home in winter weather? You always want to keep your house moist in the winter, because it is so dry. Summer is the opposite.

We are looking to get a woodburner installed in our small house. We have worked out that the saving we would have from our other heating will really save a considerable amount of money each year.

Here's another tip: Before building a fire, remove excess ash from the firebox; never let ash build up to more than two inches.

Burning wood on a fire I think is fine, as long as the wood has fallen down or died natural. I have a wood burning stove but only us this kind of timber. I know people tho that burn all kind of treated timber, but they get it for free so they are not bothered. People must realize that this cannot continue, there is also alot of dirty coal of bad quality coal about. I have a very nice log basket, great post!

Burning firewood is undeniably causing a lot of pollution to the environment. Maybe it's time that we take the initiative of using other sources of heat for our house that gives out less or no pollution. Take for instance, solar heating, might be costly at first but would surely be more practical in the long run.

If we really can't avoid using firewood for heating, we must at least use the tips provided here to lessen the smoke the burning produces.
