No back doors on my log burner that burns all sorts of crap. I live in a 
smokeless zone, but no one monitors it. I did burn one sort of coal that put 
out loads of heat, but it damaged the top end of the flu liner. Ooops. 

I like the fact more people are using electric cars, as this will leave more 
proper fuel for my landrover that will hopefully do me now (maybe) 😊

 If we would go back to burning coal, like the Chinese do, this wouldn't happen.

 Reuters reports that solar power inverters made in China have in some cases, 
contained undocumented devices for communications.  Do you have, or are 
installing any solar power panels?  Do a check for anything that doesn't seem 
to belong amongst the circuitry.

This isn't without precedent.  Dock cranes many of which are made in China have 
also been found to contain similar undocumented communication/control devices.
