I can see why insurance companies would load a policy when open fires or log burners are in use.
I did lots of research before buying this place and apparently 64% of fires in thatched properties are due to failures in the chimney when fires/log burners are used.
Also, finding the source of a fire is quite straightforward for an insurance assessor, so falsifying a claim for fire damage is probably a non starter.
