Glass can still be had, www.fastglass.co.uk will cut to spec if they don't have your stove listed. A number of stoves can have the strips replaced with a single sheet these days too.

That's a bit of a blatant plug as the company linked belongs to my brother, but I doubt I'd manage to get you guys a discount as he's tight as a ducks ar$e!

Latest govt energy package thing. Basically they're offering very cheap loans to get your house energy efficient. the pay back is based on what you savings will be . End result is you pay it back at the level of expenditure you have now. so in 5 years or whatever your new goodies are all yours and you then get the cheap running benefits.
They're meant to fund anything that's practicle on your house as long as it really does save you money.
Look it up on google

I bought our Charnwood multi fuel back boiler a few years ago, it cost me £100 and is a god send this time of year, I have never bought wood, my mate has a window firm and I'm always darting into woods when out on my rounds.
Helps living opposite woods as well

To clean glass on log burner try damp cloth and ash from the inside.
works for me.

Looks like the green deal is bringing the con men out
