Log fires are making a comeback

Each morning, as the Siberian winter grips Britain, gas supplies are rationed
and heating bills soar, Georgie Ursell carries her seven-month-old baby down
to a warm kitchen and slides another log into the woodburning range cooker
before putting on the kettle and porridge pan for breakfast. The family has
no central heating — all their cooking, heating and hot water is provided by
the Rayburn range cooker and two woodburning stoves.
