The wind and turf fires are new concepts in my daily living. I’ve travelled all over and I’ve never experienced gusts and winds anything like we’ve been getting here in Ireland. Here on the wild Atlantic way! I guess winter here is wild and windy indeed.
The traditional turf fire in Ireland, I’ve enjoyed. We’ve found that on the whole turf burns cooler than coal. However, it’s very back to nature, an enjoyable experience building and tending to your fire of an evening. Plus I do enjoy the smell of turf burning an earthy smell which also resembles the smell of cow dung which is used on fires in India for cooking. Its a very pleasant smell fills the mind with happy memories of now and the past.
