my BiL have a stove-top fan, and he swears it blows less warm air than a yawning cat.

I love wood burners and open fires,

So do I. I always make sure there’s a wood burner when we rent cottages in the peaks. Trouble is, we don’t even have a chimney in our house. This is the best I can get - a flickering fire on the telly complete with crackling burning sound. Great to read a book to!

I have fond memories of toasting bread on the open coal fire as a kid. And for one winter I owned a Victorian house in town, spent many evenings sat staring at the fire with a glass of whisky in my hand.

I removed 2 chimneys in this house, but they are in rooms that are now bedrooms.

Have you seen these? (lot of variations out there too)

You’ll have to tell him to get some wood on the fire then

Yeah, as a kid in a house with no central heating, I was sometimes allowed to light the fire. I used to love 'drawing' the fire by covering the fireplace with a large, open, newspaper. The suction/rushing air would really make the fire roar. My dad had a job at Beckton gas works and they used a special type of coal that really burnt fiercely. One day when he jacked the job in, he tipped a whole lorry load of it in our street and all the neighbours were out filling their coal sheds. It burned really hot and you practically had to sit on the other side of the room otherwise your hair would start smoking!
