He started out studying forestry at university, and then branched out into related subjects such a social forestry and biomass fuels.

Reviews for Log Book: Getting The Best From Your Woodburning Stove

I recommend this book if you're the owner of a wood stove and don't know if you're doing the right things with it; this was my predicament. If you're buying a stove, buy this book and read it beforehand. If you're selling stoves, buy a box (or more) of these books and give one away with each stove. The time and money investment, even if you only learn a few things, will pay itself back in almost no time, especially if you re using a lot of fuel. Pete Cooper, Permaculture magazine
