Top Down Wood Fires, the new normal?

I live in a totally wood-heated new cottage. I'm in a village with good neighbours and have adopted Top-Down fires as my 'new normal'. It still feels odd after a lifetime of traditional wood fires - but this new fire starting technique really works. As someone who lives with wood fires, I feel a responsibility to burn as cleanly and efficiently as possible. I want us wood-fire people to feel good when using this most ancient and environmentally positive heating fuel, and now we can!
Dry logs burn hotter and cleaner, this is becoming more important as attention on emissions grows - especially of smoke and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from wood and coal, open fires and stoves. This is not just important in smoke controlled areas - it is for all of us. Wood is a true renewable, one we should be proud to use - as long as it is harvested sustainably and burned efficiently. This wonderful and timeless heating fuel does not release fossilised carbon, nor create radio-active waste!
