Price of logs

[Torchy]

How much could I expect to pay per tonne for decent 20-25% dry hardwood logs in Mid-Wales? Collected price would be helpful as delivery costs will vary.

 

I'm contemplating installing a 40kW Log & Pellet Dual biomass boiler and need a reasonable estimate of fuel costs for logs. Could anyone point me towards reliable registered suppliers?

 

Thank you

Here's a link to registered suppliers:

Think you will find most folks sell by volume ie m3. 1 m3 of dry hardwood will be around 365kg.

Thanks. I'll keep this in mind.

Will you be claiming the renewable heat incentive?

[Torchy]

Yes, thats the plan.

A reliable registered supplier should not sell you logs by the ton - wet logs are heavy logs! Buy by volume. If it's a log boiler I would guess it will take half metre logs?

Hi torchy

im in llanidloes mid wales and am currently charging £70 cube for a good mix of 1o inch logs with some soft in each bag.

I also have a lot of chopped smaller diameter biomass produced by our welmac branch logger,which is the same price but seems to have a lot more energy in it.

Come and have a look[07792617403]

I was under the impression people claiming RHI had to get fuel from registered RHI suppliers

None domestic yes, not sure about domestic.

 

For none domestic you can become a self-supplier, you need to meet the criteria and register.
