Woodwarming on Today – Sat 29th Nov until 4pm

Just got back from visiting the ‘Woodwarming – it’s Wonderfuel’ exhibition and very interesting it was too. Exciting news – looks like wood pellets may be made on the Island soon. You can get automated wood pellet stoves and boilers to run your central heating system, it can be programmed just like a gas boiler. There are a couple of new suppliers of Island made compressed sawdust logs, these logs will keep the fire in your woodburner ‘in’ overnight like coal used to do. There are displays of wood burning stoves from Clearview, Charnwood and E.D.D. as well as info about all the government grants available for wood heating. Will write more fully about it later. The exhibition closes at 4pm today. For details see my previous post about it.
