The blog has been a bit quiet over the last few days since we have been away for a short break at a cottage owned by someone at church in the Scottish borders (surely one of the most beautiful areas in the world).\u00a0 We had a mixed time due to illness. Of relevance to this blog, however, was how effective the wood-burning stove was at heating the hot-water and two radiators upstairs.\u00a0 Both the radiators and the hot-water tank were some distance from the stove and the pipes between them were not lagged.\u00a0 Both the water and radiators became scorching hot in time.\u00a0 The process required a pump due to the distances concerned.\u00a0 I’ve been to stay in this house before many times and not found it so effective before.\u00a0 The reason was my friends have built a wood store and the wood was dry this time.\u00a0 As covered before on this blog and in our book<\/a> unfortunately due to the sheer volume of wood required (I know!) this form of renewable heat is not going to be the solution to natural gas depletion in the UK (or probably the US).\u00a0 Although we hope it can make a contribution.\u00a0 Countries like Canada or Sweden may be different.\u00a0 Nearly a million wood-burners are being fitted in the UK every year at the moment due to high gas prices and whilst at the moment I can find scrap wood very easily in the city where I live, this era maybe coming to an end…<\/p>\n
