Everything about this video is truly relaxing. From the gentle ticking of the clock to the utterly fantastic Elsie lighting the fire, I absolutely love her.
The best video I’ve seen in years - thanks to Putin I’ve re-opened two coal fires and am loving a real fire - I’ve rediscovered the joy and relaxation of watching a coal fire at night - better than anything on the telly.
And that, ladies and gentlemen is the reason why two wars were won. I think I,ll have a brown ale and a bacon butty after watching this video. Absolutely topper.
What a lovely video. I stumbled on it after lighting tonight's fire and it put me to slothful shame. From peeny and turban to rolling back the carpet, picking the clinkers and the neat paper packet for ash: wonderful pride in detail. Tomorrow night, when I throw on sugar and coal and try to draw the dying clinkers back to life with the front page of the Glasgow Herald, I will (i) think of Yorkshire and (ii) recognise i am lazy
I have been burning house coal for the last 20 years since I moved back to Yorkshire from London and I can tell you that you don’t save any money burning coal. It is great and you can’t beat a coal fire, but it’s not a great money saving scheme. In the depths of winter though, when I come in from the cold and there’s a blazing fire going, the sitting room seems like the most inviting place on earth. My dog also loves lying by the fire, which is where she is right now.
@@joshuarosen6242 I miss those days and i'm only going back to 1998 when i had sleepovers at my friends house which was Victorian. It had 4 fireplaces and a coal shed in the back. At night it was lovely to watch it roaring away with the tv and would smoulder all night when we all went to bed.
Here I am in Yorkshire by the fire watching a video about a Yorkshire lass lighting a fire. We even use the same matches. This was all prompted by the forthcoming ban on bituminous coal. I love a coal fire but no more house coal in a few months but I love the ritual of fire lighting. I always used newspaper in the past but I don’t read a physical newspaper so I have to resort to firelighters.
Fantastic accent. I used to do this with our coke fire from when I was a kid in the late 80's until around 2007 -our house was one of the last in our village with solid fuel heating. There's nothing quite like the heat one of those things throws off.
Nuclear reactor powering a heat pump does a much better job. Carbon free, pollution free, 6c/kwh using the new Small Modular Reactor designs that have no fallout risk. It's amazing and this new world is coming at us FAST!
My Grandparents lived in an old house with a brick shed that was always full of coal and loved to see them getting the fire going on those cold winter nights with the tv on etc and it wouldn't take long for it too heat the living room up compared to our gas fire that is useless. My village is full of old houses with chimney's and it's great too see smoke coming out the chimneys in winter,
Not me as most of my family are from Yorkshire and know a few guys up in Barnsley. The 1st thing they say to me is ''Alrate cocker'' or What does tha want nahhh?''. It just makes me smile.
I wonder if anyone here knows the old trick of putting the newspaper across the front of the fireplace to get it to draw from the bottom and light far faster I’f it starts going out 👀
I regularly wish I had a large newspaper. I don’t have any sort of newspaper any more but when all the decent papers were broadsheets, it was jolly useful being able to hold a double page up against the fireplace to get a good draw. The chimney in my house draws really well even without a fire so the trick works well if you have a newspaper. I don’t.
i moved into an old house with an open fireplace. I've been told there is a "back boiler" which heats the water and radiators when the fire is lit . There is a switch which apparently pumps the hot water into the radiators ? The fire is lit i switch on the pump (i can hear bubbling noise) but no warm radiators or hot water . Can someone explain, why not ?
@Dillan Hill which is as good as banning coal as far as open fires are concerned. Smokeless eggs are dreadful in open fires and will need to be mixed with wood. Its such a silly decision by the government. I've resisted buying a stove for years but my hand may be forced now.
@@matthewrussell8590 Until an hour ago, I had thought the same thing. It turns out we were both wrong. Those little manufactured smokeless bricks are indeed utterly crap. However, it turns out that it will still be legal to buy anthracite which you can also burn in an open fire. It’s more expensive (although not much more, 500kg for £272 doesn’t sound too bad - thats ten open sacks of house coal) but apparently gives off a lot more energy than bituminous coal. Anthracite is proper coal but just produces far less smoke and pollution so isn’t going to be banned. I’m going to order some tomorrow and give it a go. I’m really chuffed to find out that I probably won’t have to give up coal fires. I absolutely love them and so do my wife and dog.
@@joshuarosen6242 thanks for the reply. It's been a year!. I've known about anthracite for many years and always try to convince my stove using friends to buy it. Its an amazing fuel. Clean, slow burning, hot and very little ash.

I am opening fire for winter due to increased fuel costs. This is the BEST instruction video that I have found. Thank you so much. x
Might be false economy. Coal has gone up in price more than gas
I’ve watch 30 seconds so far and this is the best video I’ve seen about starting fires.

amazing-just like my nan lit fires! Love that unique Barnsley accent too.
This is one of the most relaxing things I’ve ever watched! Saved to favourites!

Sadly old England is quickly fading away 😪

I have just had a reel fire fitted and I am using coal on mine. This was very beneficial. Thank you. Paul
My grannie did light a Victorian fire with coal just like theyre. I Miss ya gran, thank you for this, you made my day.
i was born in front a coal fire and to this day every house i live in has had a real fire /and cook stove , you cant beat it
Class like. I'm 34, I would rather we returned back to these days than the scandalous prices of gas and electricity today!
Where i live plenty of houses have chimneys and it's nice to see some of them smoking in winter.
@@jaggass yeah, it'll look great during winter coming out of the chimney too! When snowing! Ha
@@CR-bc1zt Our gas fire is crap and always goes out. I'd rather have a coalfire/wooden stove.

i absolutely loved finding this channel, marvelous
Love the Barnsley accent.
Thanks Elsie. Lighting my first coal fire today, great video
Want/need more videos of her. Traditional ways to look after the home. Great video
I love this woman she's awesome proper old school x
Well done. Nothing like a real fire.
I like Elsie's Northern accent ☺

Reminds me of our neighbour as a kid, she had a coal fire right up to her death and the occurring smokeless zone in place now 😢
Loved coal fires growing up. Back boiler for bath night
Of course I've forgotten about the waking up and working up the courage to get in the electric shower
Brilliant I used to live in Leeds when I were a Lad. At 1st I thought I was watching a Monty Python sketch
After the first few words I slightly wondered whether she was putting the accent on but it was quickly clear that it was the genuine article.
Where’s my flat cap love this
Amazing content
Thanks! I’ve been doing this totally wrong! 😂
Love is all you need .....
having problems with lighting mine , on the hunt for newspaper and smaller wood , i have smokeless coal but its just not lighting for me
smokeless coal is the problem. on our open fire I only put smokeless on when it's up and running well.
Want to do this for winter but someone told me Barnsley council only allows certain fuel types
Amazing video. Wonder how many people struggled to understand the broad Yorkshire accent. 😄
Not me as most of my family are from Yorkshire and know a few guys up in Barnsley. The 1st thing they say to me is ''Alrate cocker'' or What does tha want nahhh?''. It just makes me smile.
awesome

I know that trick and was hoping she was going to do it

The system may need bleeding Frank time for a heating engineer.

Bloody hell tha dunna take rate kindly ta thy fetching wet wood from gardin me duk.
How well would a fire inside the wall like that heat the room?
What will you use when coal is banned?
Coal wont be banned only certain types of coal such as non smokeless
@Dillan Hill which is as good as banning coal as far as open fires are concerned. Smokeless eggs are dreadful in open fires and will need to be mixed with wood.
Its such a silly decision by the government.
I've resisted buying a stove for years but my hand may be forced now.
@@matthewrussell8590 Most towns banned the use of [proper] coal from the 1950s onwards and smokeless coal was the only option

Yessss no yank accents, finally a proper video
