especially if you live in a densely populated area
Please can someone explain how it is that everyone in with disposable income and thinks they live in the fecking countryside installs a stinking wood burner in the city of London.
I'm sick of it. You smell it all the time cycling through the hillier, less affordable parts of Sydenham and of course, Dulwich.

@William.
It would make a nice planter :)
Please don't burn wood in your house, or garden, especially if you live in a densely populated area. If so, you likely live in a smoke control area. https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules
All wood smoke, even so called kiln dried or smoke free, makes people sick. "When wood is burned, even in newer certified wood stoves, it creates localized particulate pollution hot spots and releases surprisingly high levels of harmful toxins such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene and dioxins into our environment. Wood smoke shares many of the same toxic chemical compounds as tobacco smoke, but evidence suggests it may be even more harmful."
