I have lived and worked in woodlands and forest all of my life - and always with wood fires. The cottage I live in now is 100% wood fire heated. I harvest my firewood locally and sustainably, and aim to burn my logs efficiently. But it is more than this - I love the lifestyle. Getting timber and kindling with friends, splitting and stacking wood for the log store and then the fires. The skill needed to season logs and light a fire quickly, and how to get the most heat from the fewest logs - it can take a lifetime to master. And the joy of campfires and cooking on them. This channel shares what I have learned, and am still learning.
It was a huge pleasure to write, 'The Wood Fire Handbook' in 2012.
