    The cops don't know their farming if they think an MX255 is the biggest available

    Wood gives a much nicer smell to the room than turf, particularly if there is any bit of a downdraft. You should have less ashes as well I'd imagine.

    My only concern with that ad is the delivery only, no home collection. Will the load be genuine? Could you get to see a load before you buy? For the likes of this I always make a few enquires locally and like to see the few bob going to someone local who comes recommended.
