The "Woodsure Ready To Burn Scheme"????

[Rob_the_Sparky]

Welcome to cover our **** legal wording.

[devon TWiG]

There is a continuing rise in articles in newspapers etc about how polluting and harmful to health woodburners are and can not really see a long time future for growing log sales !!   My own logs in my store are probably not less than 20% ,,,but ....I keep at least a days supply indoors by the woodburner  to ensure nice dry logs ...

I’ve missed the relevance of a 2 cubic metre load? Can someone explain

No need to comply if you are providing logs for the customer to season themselves and the load is in excess of 2 cube. If the customer is very naughty and burns the logs you sold them at 22% you wont be culpable

Thanks, searched thread content & couldn't find that comment.

Reading this with interest, anyone know what’s happening in Scotland as I’m thinking Woodsure covers England only?

We here in Scotland are following suit. When dry, we will have to store in a heated building to keep logs under 15% to 20% look out the window its wet most of the time winter here. Thats going to be some cost. We have 2 Kilns we would have to re dry every bag off logs twice before sale to get them sold, OR sell them right out of the kiln. Its going to be cheaper buying in for the Latvia. Or mix home grown air dried with kiln and blagg it.............

Kiln dried from Latvia will still need keeping dry. Can you use the waste heat from kiln via a heat exchanger to remove moisture to warm shed?

Of course one can it's a matter of additional capital and operating cost

Sorry it was more of a can YOU not can it be done.

 

Not everyone kilns their own or has kiln close to storage ect.

 

I have big worries re heating a big barn & moisture / mould.
