I’m currently replacing my 25yo house windows with UPVC, so plenty of old wooden frames. Is it ok to burn these in my multi fuel stove with expanding foam attached ? Obviously i’m taking off the metal furniture and plastic trickle vents…and wood will be stored in dry garage, not my log stores ( plural :-) )

I'm sure that the smoke from burning expanding foam would be none too healthy. But I'm sure little bits left stuck on the wood after removing the majority would make little impact.
Saw salmon climbing the waterfall at Stainforth Force last week on the local news so as we were having a few days in Ingleton went the following day. I think overnight rain had caused such a flow down the falls precluding the salmon from swimming up stream to spawn.

Depends how much you value your multifuel stove and chimney. Are the frames painted? any preservative soaked into them? Expanding foam? will soot things up in a heartbeat.

Painted timber = Trip Council Tip

thanks all. tip then.
It’s untreated softwood with paint on one side but better safe than sorry.

Depends where you live. Woodburners can be antisocial in densely populated areas. But we live on the edge of a gas-less village so I have no compunction in burning scrap wood products in ours. If the wind blows steadily from west to east (I know...it doesn't!) the next sizeable habitation is Hamburg. I'm not at all worried about sooting up the flue as when it burns hot, little soot is produced. Also, if we don't use the woodburner, we burn kerosene which is arguably more detrimental for the planet.
