We are in a smokeless zone. So if you plan to burn in an open fire (as your message suggests), what you ?can? burn is smokeless fuels only.


If you have a wood burner you ?can? burn approved fuels for that burner, usually including logs.


In terms of what you ?should? burn though. Lifestyle burning is hugely polluting, releases particulate matter in high concentrations for your family and your neighbours and pm2.5 pollutants have been linked to dementia, stroke, heart disease as well as asthma and lung cancers.


Gas fires are way less polluting, better still central heating and good insulation.

I use Mark. He does regular deliveries to the area from his place in Suffolk. Six bags of quality seasoned wood and a bag of kindling for ?40.00. His number is 07957226470. I'd ignore the previous feeds if I were you. Their 'hot air' is a far worse pollutant. They've probably just turned off their electric blankets after spending the day sitting next to an oil filled plug in radiator. Enjoy your fire!!

Electric Blankets, Oil filled radiators are not illegal and you will not be fined for using them.


Burning Logs creates Smoke and Directly pollutes our air and causes breathing problem in young children and the elderly.


I do not have an Electric Blanket.. I have a small Oil filled rad (In my bedroom)

for emergencies when my Central Heating breaks down which I have use 2 - 3 times in the past 4 years or so.

Ignoring the rudeness of your message (and again, this forum would be better if people just imagined they were speaking to people face to face, rather than hiding behind anonymity)?



I am however keen to understand why you would advise people to ignore the comments. Is it that


a) you don't believe that burning logs produces higher amounts of PM2.5 matter per hour than multiple diesel HGVs or cars?

b)You believe this (on the basis that its factually true) but you don't believe any of the scientific studies showing how particulate matter is some of the most harmful pollutants for our health, penetrating deep into our tissue and even crossing into unborn children?

c) you just think that there are so many pollutants that a bit more doesn't matter - despite studies showing that more than 30% of pm2.5 pollution could be attributed to solid fuel burning, which is for most people in urban areas, not a necessity but a lifestyle choice?


I honestly believe that people are completly uninformed about the horrific pollution caused to them and their families by woodburners. Like diesel cars, its another goverment pushed scandal. I also think that once people hear it they become defensive and antagonistic as they don't want to believe they could cause harm. So just really trying to work out where on that spectrum you fall?

Hurrah - first post by DF that has actually made me laugh. In a good way.

Just again - kiln dried logs still produce higher amounts of pollutants per hour from your woodburner than many HGVs and diesel cars parked outside pointing their exhausts into your home.


But as a response to the OP - you could google 'kiln dried logs' - or you could google effects of woodburning improve the health of your neighbourhood immeasurably by not doing it.


Accepting that we shouldn't be burning wood seems to be upsetting, but really is something we need to get over quickly in East Dulwich.

    • I agree Callows Locksmiths in East Dulwich really are the best - the staff are so kind and go above and beyond to help customers! I took in a Yale lock that I thought was broken and they checked it and told me that the deadlock function had been activated by mistake and pointed out that in a property with flats this would be dangerous if a fire broke out.  They then showed me how to disable it, gave me new screws (because the threads had worn) and expert advice on how to refit it - all without charge!!  Thank you!

    • Perhaps you could be pleasant rather than pedantic.  This is supposed to be a bit of fun but you have managed to already make it divisive.  I expect others will be more jolly.
    • To many Starmer comes across as weak, indecisive a lacking a plan. The complete opposite of a conviction politician.  He can overcome these perceptions by  having a clear foreign policy and staunchly safeguarding Britain's standing in the world. So far he has alienated our closest ally over the Chagos and the two traitors spying for China. The word on the street is that the leadership void has been filled by Johnathan Powell and that Starmer  does everything Powell says. Powell should be sacked as his  links to China go back 3 decades during which he was a frequent visitor and meeting senior Chinese officials. The other connection is through his brother -Lord Powell who was chairman of the China-Britain Business Council. Both Powells are members of the 48 Group Club whose stated aim is to "connect China to the world" Has  Starmer got the guts to clear out the Augean stables?
    • We've just had our kitchen and bathrooms tiled by Piotr at PW Tiling and are so pleased with the result.  It's a family business and all the workmen were polite, clean and tidy and skilled.  Piotr came back to correct snagging issue immediately and the finish is impeccable.  There were lots of little touches such as detail around the fireplace, graduating the step from carpet to tiling and tiling up the island to avoid scuffing the cabinets.  We thought the quote was really competitive too.   We picked him up from East Dulwich Forum (thank you!) but wanted to reiterate how good his workmanship is.
