Are wood burning stoves going to be banned?

This has been a very hot topic for a few years, but I hope this will clear up the issue for people. There is a lot of misinformation out there, but if you have any comments or anything to add please drop them in the comments.

With the current energy crisis and gas prices, I'd love to see the government TRY to ban people burning wood to keep warm

[bobbysilver]

If they try to ban them it will because they don't like people being independent of their power control. (They would try to use the environment as a blackmailing excuse aimed at the unthinking masses).

I've had 2 burners fitted in my home this year, April and August, investing now to save long term. Built a Log store in garden in 2021, all full of Kiln dried logs. Neighbours have also given me free wood from which I can dry out myself for the future.

My wood burner is more interesting to watch than most TV programmes and since my garden backs on to woodland it's cheaper than a TV licence.

Governments have far too much power over how we live our lives. How did we let this happen? A society comfortably numb. 😔

[JamesBalmforth]

Any law that says burning wood to stay warm is illegal has no authority and should be ignored.

I live in a village in Scotland, we are very prone to power cuts in the winter months. I have a stove fitted, I burn anthracite all the time, great heat, never need the heating on as the stove warms the whole house.
Sadly you can’t buy solid fuel central heating stoves now, you can only buy what some people have left in stock.
This video will help a lot of people who think stoves are banned.
Kind regards

I've noticed an increasing number of public parks and woodland errecting signs stating 'No log collection'.

I put a wood pellet stove in my old house 3 years ago. In two years it paid for itself in oil saved. I used the savings in year 3 to upgrade the insulation in the Attic. I am going to start replacing a window a year now.

I'm using mine more than ever in rural Ireland. Co of heating oil is sky high

[patrickbriggs]

Whilst those with power and money and live a life that’s been provided by us the working classes, they want to stop us trying to keep warm. Ye right, they can piss right off.

Well, couldn't agree with you more. And yes, certain people would like to ban prime movers: things that just work with out reliance on a heavily taxed infra structure. (ie, freedom). My earliest memories are lighting the fire in the morning, it was our only form of heating. Got one going now.

[jimllfaxit]

We now live in a world where the government has the right to tell you whether you can keep warm or not. This is just utterly sinister and at Hitler levels of evil. I would die of cold without my wood burner

[stephengray]

Your not lining the pockets of the energy companies cartel in the UK if your using a log burner

[chrismantonuk]

I like the idea of becoming more community based, more local. It feels more traditional and probably the way we’re meant to live! Also I’m really enjoying your channel and I like the Q&A format with your wife asking questions. Keep up the good work! 🎉

[julianmorris]

It’s a mans primeval right to burn wood!!!!

[camperp]

I used to work for a stove company, i know full well at the moment they cannot keep up with the orders, and their stoves and boilers are emissions and fuel efficient, ban them?
Never going to happen

[KKTR]

Wow, I’m absolutely amazed
The number of people on here actually think government is over reaching itself in many areas

[karenharris]

I wish they WOULD be banned! I'm chemically sensitive, and the neighbor is making me sick as a dog!!!

[guiliobarresi]

just had ours put in, try and get any log burner fitter within 40 miles of me and there ALL booked for months
