I always have  5 years or so of firewood at my place (don't sell any). I have a old house so normally have the two log burners  on from late August -May. Love burning wood!! 

With two burners do you find your constantly collecting wood from the store?

[Chipperclown]

Yes I do & thats a pain! One day I will find a decent large log store that will last me a while. Always looking but never seem to see one that would be big enough or suitable.

2 burners here too, and feeding them is a pain in a way, but rewarding too...its using the wood I put the effort in to scrounging and processing.  i use ikea blue tote bags (doubled up) to carry the wood in, and an old pram so i can get 4 from the shed to the conservatory in one go.

Ever considered building your own?  Depends on what size you are talking about but I have built myself one from old fence posts (rotten bit cut off) and planks recovered from pallets.  It cost me a few nails and some paint.

....I think it's where my wine cellar is less full than my log store.... k

Pre-winter seems to be a little warmer these days then we get the cold snaps later and later into the start of the new year. I dont think there is a season as such any more - global warming? Now there is a prickly politican subject ?

I reckon Easter is a good time to end the wood stove season.

 

Or...about 3 weeks more than I have dry wood every year

 

 

 

As for mild weather, the stove has been off the last couple of days, been doing other jobs and not feeding it

It sounds corny but climates have and continue to change which means the seasons in the UK are also changing. Traditionally the stove season tended to start early September and finish around the end of March. However, that has been changing for a few years now.

 

Some argue there are no seasons now and it is just continual

I think its about the same length of time just shunted forward by a couple of months . When I was a nipper ( a hundred years ago ) it was not unusual to have hard frosts in November . Does not happen now but can get some cold weather in March now .
