A couple of nights ago we finally had to light our wood burner fire for the first time this year.
During the day it is quite warm, but because the nights are so clear at the moment the temperature drops considerably as the sun goes down. Thank heaven for our lovely wood burner.
Very nice... We havent put the heater on yet (we are in coffs) but i think we will be needing it soon... We are on top of a hill and its freezing at nighttime xx
Whilst I would love a wood fire we aren't encouraged to have one in Canberra due to the smog in winter. So I enjoy "central heating" which isn't quite as romantic as a wood fire. Some people put in "pretend " fires for the atmosphere.
@angelat I know what you mean about air con. the good thing about a wood burner is that it keeps the house warm overnight whereas you usually turn off the aircon when you go to bed so it cools down quicker.
@gamelee Thanks Lee. Unfortunately, you wouldn't want a wood burner all year round out here. When it gets to 40 degrees in summer you would seriously melt if you had your wood burner lit at the same time!!! I'll have to take a photo just of the flames and stick it to the front of the glass on the burner in summer. that should do it without having the heat eh!
