seriously - an unattended stove will probly have gone out after 2
hours - assuming you need the dampers/airwash etc fully opened to get
it going in the first place.


Ours will stay in for much longer but it's a waste of fuel if the
house is unoccupied.


mmm what i meant was if it's lit by some non-human "mechanism" and
all the dampers etc are fully open ( as you & I both light ours),
then in 2 hours (with everything left wide open as no-one is at
home...) it would probly have burnt out....
