Firewood cleaners

[SbTVF]

A lot of retailers wish their Firewood was that dry ! [emoji23]

Don’t I just know it too. So many supposed ‘best supplier in the area’ round here. Funny how many I get complaining about them!

It’s mostly the sycamore that does that but we get a high percentage of sycamore in this area so need it out really.

Think I’ll get a proper frame, legs and top sides build for this. Will do the job this year. Don’t know where I’d put a trommel until my brothers sheep have lambed and are out of my bloody shed!

Field Maple can be just the same. I don't think you will ever look back once you set up a screener that you can just run the logs through before dropping into your bagging system. A credit to you how dry your timber is though ?

I keep meaning to make a simple cleaner. All I am going to do is make a large ramp made of 1" round rails around 2" apart. Tip crate of logs out over it and the logs will run down into another crate at the end of the ramp. Then load onto truck. Snag is having bought all the materials keep having customers say how useful all the bits are and had no complaints delivering bits and all. 

 

You often see advise on buying logs that it's good if the bark is falling off so I guess they see the mess and bark as a sign of dry wood.
