Wood Stove or Open Fire?

Posted on January 5, 2016 by Lorna S

Wood Stove or Open Fire
It’s been relatively mild this winter so far in Ireland as it’s been wet rather than frosty and unfortunately many people have experienced flooding. Having an alternative source of heat to electric, oil and gas can be a godsend at times ( I remember the oil running out when we were snowed in once, thank goodness for the fires). Open fires and stoves also provide a comforting glow as well as an effective source of heat.

Whether you are building a new home, renovating or perhaps wondering if you should insert a wood stove into your open fireplace, I hope these points will help you decide whether to opt for a wood stove or an open fire. We have one of each  – a wood stove in the kitchen and an open fire in the living room.

Here are the advantages and disadvantages below:-

We were snowed in for two weeks and apart from the fact that the food stores were getting low, we were all getting cabin fever towards the end.
