Muted spits and crackles as the logs burns. The beast is behind the glass, can get electric or gas fires which now provide that effect but they too don't cut the mustard!
We lived dangerously with a dog grate for 20 odd years then changed to a log burner, so much safer I guess. it was great in many ways but just didn't quiet have the same cosy fireside appeal for us.

We have a built in woodburner in the original fireplace. Made by Woodwarm. Dont think its as efficient as a free standing log burner though. We have ready access to free firewood and have oil central heating. Cant think that fitting a woodburner plus the liner and paying for firewood is economical.

We’ve got a Morso Squirrel and a Hunter somethingorother. When we first got them wood was much cheaper than oil, now the price of oil has come down and the price of logs creeps ever upwards. The big thing for us though is the way the stoves reduce draughts howling across a room and up the chimney. We’ve got an old house with original sash windows...
