Why are there so many used log kilns for sale?

[Woodworks]

Anyone know?

 

It seems very strange that at a time when kilning is going to be in huge demand there are lots and lots of kilns with many years left on the RHI for sale.

I think it's more that anyone who's already selling is reposting the adverts to take advantage of the news on the new regulations.

 

I've seen some for sale that are a few years old but unused so they obviously haven't been able to sell them yet.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least if certain enterprising people bought them with the intention of selling further down the line.
Or intended to use them for farming RHI but couldn't get planning or some other rubbish.

Notice how most if not all of them are Glen farrow. Poorly designed kilns and system on the whole. Very inefficient.

Type Biomass into ebay. Also seen several on Facebook and as mention most of them are Glen Farrow units.

Can see them being banned when the new regs come in. Already sorting out my advertising to put the emphasis on the fact that my kiln dried logs are produced without any PM 2.5 emissions. Will probably work quite well as people are already complaining about the smoke from a local biomass kiln.
