Thats what you burn?
Do you have an airtight wood stove?
Is that you?
We place turf on an open fire, like with any other domestic fuel.
Turf on it's own doesn't produce great heat - so coal and timber is also used, the turf and other fuel together then produce a long lasting and warm fire.
I think you have peatlands in Canada, any comercial and/or domestic use made of them?
