 I trim all mine except ash which is less twiggy

 

sounds like a good plan with the paper bags

 

branch / mini logs. The way forward if we could work out best way to do it

 

not sure about drying out the branches

 

i find the fresher the wood the neater the cut

 

dry stuff tends to shatter ??

 

 

I think you are right and the whole branches would take ages to dry anyway.

 

I see that hand held bag stitchers are between £150 and£250 on ebay. so must have a good market to make it worthwhile

 

How big do you think the bags should be and how much to ask for them.  I suppose the bags themselves will cost about 25p so you would need to sell a pounds worth at least.

Just need to experiment to see if the paper bag has enough energy to light the loggings without the need for a fire lighter

What sizes of bags are available for charcoal and how much do they cost?

I use the smaller Sellway bags and they hold around 13 litres of charcoal (measured in a bucket) Cost is around 50-60P per bag but that's all printed up.
