No hard facts, and only a passing mention that hints that the worst
polluters are open fires.

Nothing about solid fuel central heating which generally uses anthracite
beans.

Nothing about (for example) garden bonfires.

Previous articles have let slip that the issues are often about running
wood burners with the fire doors open, and that they are not such a
problem with the doors closed.

Our wood burner is for pleasure and also as a backup heat source.
Cooking at a pinch.

The electricity here is pretty reliable, but I still recall a couple of
houses back when we were the only house able to cook because of our
solid fuel Rayburn when the power went out for an extended period. So
having an alternative is reassuring.

Anyway, Happy New Year.

I wonder what the relative statistics are for charcoal BBQs in the summer?

Cheers

it wont be long before peoples sweat is classed as a pollutant
