You just don’t give us a break, a large number of homes are simply unsuitable for your smoky wood burners, adding a wood stove is not necessarily an addition to the value or equity in a house, in fact it could well be a reduction in value.
Introducing any solid fuel burner into a house brings immediate problems with ventilation, the majority of gas burners bring air in from outside for burning, solid fuel appliances take air from inside the house thereby creating draughts.
How many homes have the facility to store wood etc, plus of course if you get a switch of any size to solid fuel, surprise, surprise, prices will rise, you know very well that it isn’t a good idea to just throw any old rubbish on your fire, so were is all this properly dried wood coming from? wood probably dried using gas heating.
Push your agenda as much as you wish, but just try occasionally to look at the practicalities and the important impracticalities.

All I would say to that and the previous posters is, I have a stove which provides independence from the gas supply and keeps me nice and warm. Although not designed for cooking, I can also warm plates, boil a kettle, heat a pan of soup etc, fry steaks and more, on its handy flat top. Tbh, I'd be quite lost without it!

Shout out for stoves too. Admittedly I don’t have a connection for gas, but lit mine for the first time in a few months last night. Can’t beat the instant heat and the smell of burning hardwood logs takes some beating.
