hahaIt's not too damp atm, but we are trying to work out the best way to heat the place, being off-grid and that. At the moment we're just using friction.

Having gas/oil delivered is extortionate Lots of people I know down here use wood burning stoves

YerWe have one, so will use it when it gets proper cold. CH is oil but it doesn't work, and the boiler is the size of the Death Star, so we were thinking about solar. Pricey.

Sorry to interjectBut have you considered a paraffin lamp? My folks have one as they live in the middle of nowhere and it will light/warm a room up nicely without having to heat the whole house and paraffin is relatively cheap.
