That was a while ago, saw him playing with Squeeze at "The Stables" Wavendon a few years back and he...they were fantastic.

As Mark says, not as energy dense as a hard wood like oak, but it burns reasonably well - got some in the pile for this season, pretty good if you need to revive a fire that you have left too long without fuelling it. Worth taking if it is free, but I wouldn't pay top dollar for it. Splits reasonably but can have hundreds of side shoots that might slow you down a little.

What Paddy says, above ! Let us know what you decide to do? And please make sure you have a very functional tracker/insurance cover on your chipper (and anything else of reasonable value), that you might leave there, overnight... I've noticed that when I am weighing up/anticipate a bad outcome -and still do something anyway, I'm often positively surprised by the result ( reverse psychology+planning = works well ! ). It's actually making me wonder again, about mounting an advertising sign, on our own rural roadside gateway.. We do have the (minor) benefits of a heavy steel vehicle barrier, plus gates adorned with razor wire, in addition to other er, more transient security measures... 🤫

Hi all I’m just seen if anyone is running a ST8p with the Kubota petrol engine and what there views We are running at st6p 40hp at the moment and thinking of adding another petrol to the line up but would consider if running a st8d too Thanks Peter

Great, ill kept it for a good while and split it asap.

Little update. The Willow is burning really hot (18 months seasoned) and is just as good as my Ash that im using. Although the Ash logs are smaller and not seasoned as long. So glad I kept it

Burns really well, hot and quick, but must be well seasoned.

Oh, ill do some homework on that, any experience burning it? Cheers

Still no excuse for being late on parade though. Seem to remember a phrase that starts pot calling the………😂

Looks like leylandii.

Little update on the logs that may be Willow. They have been burning beautifully! Seasoned about 18 months and going great. Burning as hot as the ash logs in fact lol, my Ash logs are smaller though

Merry Xmas all. Please could someone help with an I.D on this tree? Been told it may be Pine, if it is ill take it and season.

Ferret, stoat, same MO. Often they'll kill then just take a gland or some other offal that contains nutrients they need. Fox more likely to chow down on the muscle meat I reckon.

Trumps Christmas day message to his cult on Twatter, the traditional peace and harmony to all message from all other world leaders? Looking forward to the new year? Perhaps some kind of religious message from a religious man who flogs his own brand of bibles? No, it was this: "Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT, falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him, didn’t know him, said he was a disgusting person, and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so" Wonder if something is playing on his mind first thing Christmas morning? Lets break this down a little: Gave him bundles of money: Yup - if you remember the oversized check Trump was pictured giving him Attended his parties: Yup, see the many photos of them together at parties Thought he was the greatest guy on earth: Yup, they were best friends and the messages show they thought a lot of each other Only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT: Trump didn't 'drop him' for poaching staff but remained in contact for many years after and until his first stint at president.. when he was arrested for a second time for raping children Falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him: Yup... see the line above Sleeping well I wonder Mr Trump if this is your first thought on Christmas Morning, the day celebrated to spend with the family, and to celebrate your religious feelings.
