    • UK oriented but has lots of useful information
Other reviewers haven't liked that it's UK oriented. That didn't bother me nearly as much - there's a lot of great information that makes the book useful to me - science behind burning, things to watch out for. For example, if I'd bought the book before buying my fireplace I would likely have looked for a model with separate settings for primary and secondary air. Possible improvements: - Information on own-drying wood that is wet. For example, I bought a bunch of wood from a supplier and it's not great. I'm testing out drying the wood in my solar cooker (I live in a sunny country). - Top-down vs. bottom-up lighting. Many seem to think the former is the better method. - Indicate on the cover that the book is UK oriented. Many seem put off by that, so get fewer bad ratings by reducing the surprise of the purchaser. ... show more

    • Really small book and I think I had to pay postage to return it
It was more of how to start a fire book. I was looking more for the history of wood which would burns hotter the science behind it.

    • Best for British beginners
The Log Book really is written for a UK audience. You wouldn't think it would matter but it does. The author sees a typical user running a stove just 3 hours a day, as supplemental heat for a single room; not as the primary heat for the whole house. All the units are British so the information about sizing stoves and fuel consumption has to be converted to be useful. The part about actually operating a stove is pretty good and would be helpful for someone new to heating with wood. ... show more

    • Only Log Book I Could Find.
I was disappointed with this product. It was the only book of this type I could find. It was written more for a British or UK resident. It didn't seem to have enough info and was hard to understand.
