They take at least 2 days , but they do burn.
Old leather shoes make great burning and they remind me of turf.

Had a few chimney fires where I used to live,another guy up the street had regular chimney fires,they just burn themselves out,cheaper than a sweep.

I'd imagine that that's letting off all kinds of toxic fumes into your living room. Well done, OP.

I once burned a cider flagon in the fire.

DO NOT DO THIS I WARN YOU.

Nothing like the smell of noxious plastic burning in the living room.

But disposing of other waste isn't. And burning it in a fireplace presumably generates some heat along with the smoke.

Up to a point Lord Copper.


It's 2 Euro to get into the recycling centre in a car in a certain midland town .

Actually, burning the odd empty beer can helps to keep creosote at bay.

If the stingy thread has thought me anything it's that argos catalogues make good fuel for burning in the stove.

You're really going to come into your own when you hit middle age. I can tell.

You're the kind of person I curse every night when I am out walking, breathing in the manky fumes from burning shoes and the like.

Coal is surely cheaper than leather?

dj jarvis

be careful

a family of 3 died last year when the put a multi pack crisp bag onto the fire ,
instead of burning it rose into the chimney, blocking the escape of the fumes.

the 3 were found dead after being overcome by carbon monoxide , they sat watching tv and passed away.

something so simple - yet so deadly


but ignoring the fire risk , do you not think its a ****ty thing to, do seeing you are polluting everyone's else environment to save a few bob ?

me , i would not do it - its just a ****ty thing to do

Look just buy a vertical wood chipper
Place it over the toilet and

Recycling down my way is free,even then I had a neighbour who burnt literally every bit of rubbish in the fire.They had virtually the whole area poisoned with fumes & noxious black smoke.

Wait 'til the chimney get's clogged up with particles from burning plastic then catches fire & you crack the flue liners,it'll be a hell of a lot more expensive to get that fixed than recycling.

Until eventully the flue cracks and smoke(or heat) can escape into rooms through which the chimney travels.

Worst case you die in your sleep from fumes or burn the house down.

Best case you shell out plenty of dosh getting the flue fixed.

Still cheaper than a sweep?

Only talking to the father-in-law about this yesterday!!
He said to peel the spuds onto some newspaper, parcel it up tightly and let dry out.

Burns great apparently:D

"I save a fortune on recycling costs by..." A fortune eh? Excellent. Never spent even "a lot" on recycling myself, never mind "a fortune". What were you doing previously? Smelting aluminium on the kitchen stove?

I thought thd green bin automatically came with the refuse bin?

Op, is right to burn everything. So much food packaging can be burned. Give it another use by throwing out heat.

Ye do realize that burning and inhaling plastic will more than likely give you cancer? One of the worst things ye can do, burn the cardboard, cans or whatever but recycle the plastic

Pretty sure it's illegal to burn your household waste.
Plus you're putting out lots of toxic shite for the rest of us to breath, cheers.

Same here.
I'd say a lot of the people doing this would probably give out shit to you for smoking a cigarette in their house, yet they're happy to poison whole neighbourhood just because they're too cheap to pay for their own waste.

When I lived in a rented house with an open fire, we used to burn everything. Worst thing was a bag of prawn crackers you get free with a chinese. If you ever do it, make sure you have a poker at the ready so the flaming bag doesn't roll out onto the floor and across the room :pac:
Open fires are great, more interesting to watch than most of the crap on telly too.
