    Ah these fucking things. Everyone around you has to deal with the smell while you have some fire in a box.

    These need to be regulated into oblivion or banned in dense housing areas.

    The Guardian has a real hate boner for wood stoves. Yes, in dense urban areas they are not a good idea, but elsewhere it’s cheap sustainable heating. Some poorer folks really rely on them.
