10,000 wood burning stoves in stock? Seems highly unlikely.
How many regulations are there in the UK for cutting down trees?
My chainsaw needs are suburban and modest, so I have an electric one. Plug in models. A regular one and one mounted on a pole for pruning frees. AKA a pole saw. I have two electric two pole saws with different bar lengths.
When decisions and choices have consequences.
Too late to be putting up wood for this winter. Firewood needs to dry out for a year. Burn it “green” and you’ll get much less heat. I also can predict a rash of chimney fires from the creosote buildup before the winter is over.
Good thing the UK has all those old houses will good chimneys.
Britain is so screwed.
Thousands of new Brit chainsaw owners? Emergency rooms will be busy.
This is mostly male activity and a male path of action for possible blackouts.
So this would probably benefit mostly married women and of course single men, or women living with men.
I expect to see an increase in gardening accidents over the next several months.
We have HETAS regulations on how the wood burners and multi-fuel stoves have to work, to reduce pollution. We also have guidance on seasoning wood properly, so it gets the most heat with the least air pollution.
That’s fair - London used to be called “The Big Smoke” and smog used to be a killer. Burning damp logs is a bit pointless anyway.
I replaced our Victorian open fireplaces several years ago, before the regs were tightened, so they pump out enough heat to cook on without letting the cold in when not in use. Timber is seasoned and dried for a minimum of 6 months before I move it into a store nearer the house.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I do believe wood does not burn as cleanly as natural gas?
I suspect a chainsaw ban will be coming soon in the UK.
If true I’m very surprised the UKSchwab govt doesn’t regulate woodstoves as tightly as guns. Personal resourcefulness is not a quality the ruling class likes to encourage.

When we lived in the Seattle area, they used to have “inversion days” or something like that, when the use of fireplaces was prohibited. Is England subject to the same weather conditions? All that freshly cut lumber being burned into a low-hanging cloud cover could certainly create an issue.
“…the energy crisis…”
And, strangely, there is enough energy readily available in the earth to have us all swimming in supply of the stuff. Imagine if anyone in government actually cared or worried about the wealth and comfort of their voters? It’s most singular that they don’t seem to or seem to have to, as Sherlock Holmes might observe…
If TPTB think people are just going to sit by and freeze all in the name of green energy because the green lobby says climate change is an issue, the DS is stupider than they think we are.
100% Joe Biden’s fault.
the whole solar thing not working out so well huh?
