Are air dried logs to be made illegal?

Will be interesting to see if they try and regulate for people selling wet wood for logs (unprocessed) rather than logs.  I suspect that there are quite a lot of people who process their own logs out there from arb waste (I'm one of them and I know of several others where I work that do it).  In my eyes arb waste is not fire wood/logs until processed so I'd hope that this new regulation would cover only the sale of processed logs.

 

I've only been doing this for about 3 years now but I'm using local arb waste that is dropped off as my contact is passing on his way home, processing by hand and air drying so almost no carbon footprint to produce it and I now use less gas to heat the house so it is reducing the amount of CO2 produced to heat the house.  In the process it also reduces the heating bill and I get some exercise and satisfaction from swinging an axe.  Also learnt a lot about how to/not to sharpen my chainsaw last year

How can anyone regulate on "wood for logs"? It would be impossible, as it would depend on a number of changing variables.

The only significant time that the moisture content really counts is the point of putting the log on the fire. What happens before that is of no significance.
