Thedreamer Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 If you are in a urban environment no need for a log burner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Decided we won’t have a log burner - it’s just wrong for our house and the environment ( understand perfectly though if you are non urban it’s justifiable ) . One of the very few neighbors that talks too me was only to happy to have the timber for their open fire . I have to split it and chop it up for them as they are old and most likely won’t survive the winter and a new Covid mutation ??

Kelvin Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) I’ve talked the other half out of the log burner. The house won’t need the heat so it was for the aesthetic only. While they are carbon neutral they do contribute to pollution inside and out. The new debate is whether we have any flame effect in at all.

We've used a "cassette 500 projects" ("projects" is plumbed-in version). This one had no heating element at all. I want to see if i can turn it on/off with a relay so it becomes part of the lighting scenes, not tried yet though.
