Bit quiet this year

[Tom D]

Yep, I'll agree, 3 months is doable - just not all the time. Managed it one year - see pic - got the sun nearly all day where it was and it was a rare occurence we had a dry summer! also the wind would howl up the valley bottom too

 

Also - I think the public need to understand the difference between dry and seasoned too.

Not really - that was one of the pre "system Leader" Thors - had to grip the log with your knees until the knife hit the log - worked well but looked dodgy

What are you selling hard or soft wood,seems like the place has been flooded with soft wood at present,the next 3 months will tell but it is a bit quiet at the moment,need snow badly.

Who knows, you might even get to shift some of that green 'seasoned' beech of yours.

hi mate sounds like your doing really well, im just setting up but seam to be a little slow at selling any advise? im not too expensive and have good logs, mainly advertising on the web any tips?

cheers mate

All right then - hands up everyone who's selling 3 month split logs as 'dry'?

 

You may get away with ash - but oak, beech, sycamore, hawthorn...?

IT's ALL ash! Do not see a problem with calling it seasoned after 3 months as it IS down to 20 % dry. Don't know what all the fuss is about and YES I do tell the customer exactly what they are buying and how long and where it has been dried.

[Treewarrior]

i think it should've read.... a minimum of 3 months

 

4 seasons to a year

3 months to a season

3 months in a good summer = dry wood, especially ash sycamore, hawthorn, lime, alder, beech, larch..................but not oak, or poplar.

 

and yes i have dried it in 3 months and yes it was moisture tested to see if it works and they were cut in half

 

you need a lot or space, air flow and sun/heat to work, but will not work if all in one big pile

Totally agree

[Arran Woodfuels]

down to 20 % dry

 

Don't you mean "20% Moisture", ie "80% dry" ???
