This story should go down well

Wood burning pollution linked to deaths of 40,000 people a year http://dailym.ai/21bUoVu

I burn a rocket burner which is much cleaner and so is many secondary air systems

fair enough id say a standared wood burner dosnt help as puts more crap into atmosphere and you can feel it with your breathing and also by the smell alone its not always the problem of the wood burner but the people who burn the material and burning wrongly

I have a next door neighbour like that sends soot up the chimney you can taste the burn and you have trouble breathing due to there bad burning of the materials

Okay that's not so bad if it's only certain types but that's not the impression the story gives

I just can't believe you linked to a story from the Daily Mail, making it seem as if there's any chance it might have any basis in fact.

I believe everything they say, is that not the case.

It does make me wonder why papers keep printing crap. I dont read any for that reason, however it is funny reading online, as the comments are better at gleening the truth/gist/point of the story.

The editors cant read them, but then they cant be arsed to read the story in the first place, so....

We had best shut all these biomass powerstations down asap

Honestly can't decide whether that post is oozing sarcasm, or whether you're being truthful.

Daily Mail...fact? That's an oxymoron isn't it?

Now that is ironic

 

[TechnicAl]

Im only guessing but it wouldnt surprise me if the pollution from ALL the woodburners was equivalent to one jumbo jet flight to America

BBC news ran the same story this morning. It's probably been pushed out by the govt ahead of some new anti pollution taxation drive.

Funnily enough, that's pretty much what I was wondering as I was reading that story.

And for tearing into little squares and hanging on the nail in the bog. Not very absorbant though, and funnily enough as bog paper it mimics the newspaper, it smears crap all over the place

 

[AndyStobbs]

The problems start with wood burners once you shut off the air.

Or as a 'divertionary' tactic to take folks' minds off the really important things going on in the country at the moment.

Remember the aide who said "today would be a good day to release bad news" [can't recall what the 'news' was ] after someone famous had died......

Labour party press officer Jo Moore, shortly after 9/11 planes struck and before the collapse. It's all in the timing.

I'm just installing a wood burning boiler as part of the renewable heat incentive (RHI), the boilers have to pass EU emmisions testing, they are gasifying boilers and generally more efficient and less poluting than your average lounge wood burner unless they are designed specifically to meet the same regs.
