"Sorry to be boring (when the photos looks so beautiful) but please remind people to NEVER stack your logs either side of a lit stove, fire hazard!!! If only we were having the heatwave of two years ago," one comment read.
Another fan warned: "Be very careful with the logs at the side of the log burner, a friend of mine nearly burnt their house down, the logs got so hot they set alight."

They quickly responded: Thank you the logs are there at the moment as decor, we aren't using the fire which is actually gas so we won’t be burning them but it's just decorative until the fire surround is finished. Yes, I have heard it's dangerous, but I won’t be lighting the fire."
