[Stoves] The Economist

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Friends

This article was linked from the Alliance for Green Heat to the Economist:

https://www.economist.com/britain/2018/08/25/wood-burning-stoves-the-picturesque-polluters

The last line is interesting:

"The black smoke will continue to waft from the chimneys of well-to-do homes until wood-burners go back out of fashion."

It is this type of ignorance about what smoke is, what products are available on the market and what "fashion" means that produces such a comment. The author apparently believes that wood "contains smoke".

Because of the massive rise in the cost of heating a home (due to misbegotten energy policies) many people are installing a wood burning stove. That is not a "fashion" it is survival.  The fuel is attacked as the problem, not the poorly designed stoves.

Anyone want to write an article for the Economist?

Regards
Crispin
