Final seasoning

Despite the fact that we sell dry firewood we usually end up with the offcuts so we just dry by the side of the fire.

 

You can't really go too dry but there's no real gains once you drop below 15-20%.

Lovely fire place that

Thanks, it was filled in with a small fire in front then one day my mum started pulling at some loose stones and got a nice surprise.

Great idea for the off cuts the Tajfun clamp won't hold at the end. They'd fit perfect in dads big inset stove!! [emoji851]

I've stacked logs around (and resting against) my wood burner for years, and never had a problem.

 

Having said that, I don't leave it in overnight, and I probably wouldn't risk doing that with logs around the stove...

 

What stove have you got? If I rested logs against any of ours when lit, they would start smouldering or catch fire within minutes...

Ditto..... I have a Jotul F100 and the sides get quite warm . Adds to the whole convection that it generates. The whole point I thought ....?

 

Then, on the top I have a small mess tin with water (drop of Lavendar oil) to add a bit of moisture to the atmosphere if it gets a bit dry.

I have a boiler stove, so I can give logs a last toasting on the top so long as I avoid the blanking plate. The top jacket of water keeps the surface of the stove below 100C.

This also gives wee beasties a last chance to make a run for it.

 

Again I don't burn overnight either, so there's always someone around just in case......

I think i'm with big J on this, 20% is going to be just fine really. Tried stacking logs around the wood burner at the last house and it overheated to a dangerous degree, the temp was well high. I finish mine off in the poly tunnel

It was an old Villager I think - sold the house now with stove in place.

 

The logs would get warm, but not a hint or smouldering never mind catching fire. Plenty of heat to the room (stove was too big for room I think really) especially with a fan on top.

I keep the next days kindling near the stove and it makes a great deal of difference , also a few smaller split logs ,it all makes the lighting process quicker and easier ....
