Why not let wood fuel your mind?

TRAILERS full of timber can be seen moving on roads across the country these days, as people secure their wood supplies for winter firing and the unmistakeable whine of the chainsaw echoes through the land.

Wood fuel is becoming more and more popular for home heating in Ireland. Over recent years, many homeowners, hotels and other businesses have made the switch to wood to replace imported oil and coal. Schemes run by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEI) have provided much of the impetus for this change.

The rising price of heating oil is also forcing people to look at alternative fuel sources and there seems to be an increasing demand for wood-burning stoves.
