conifer for logs?

[Mesterh]

Since e=mc2 I would go for the larger mass:001_smile:

 

As a customer I would want softwood to be cheaper, as a seller I would want the same price.

Larch is what im burning right now its fine, open the vents up and it burns quite fast but closed it reasonably slow its nice and warm

yes yes yes

 

snob value.....and most people cant use thier stoves properly.

 

 

Do tell, I'm all ears...... Tell me how I can get my stove to burn conifer to get the same amount of heat out of it as I do hardwood but (big but) without having to get up and load the stove twice as much.

Can you not use a snooker cue (or similar) with a hook on the end to open the burner door, Then have a tennis racket attached to another cue to place the log on and put it in the burner, Then return back to the cue with the hook on to shut the door?

I sold 2 loads of seasoned conifer today and i have 3 more for this week. Each one i dropped off a net of logs for them to try free of charge before they bought any, and the customer was more than happy, commenting on the lovely aroma. I cant do any more than that. Of course your right it burns quicker with less heat, but the customer is happy and that is the main thing.

need to know what stove you got and how you currently use it now.

 

every stove is different and i aint no expert, mine is an AArrow and its crap

 

if i want conifer to burn as well as hardwood burns, i have to replace all the seals (which have to be done every year anyway...cos stove is crap) and reduce the air right down. works for me

 

when stove is shut down on softwood i never get black glass

put hardwood in last night and came down to black glass this morning

 

i have burnt pine alongside beech, both the same size and in the fire at the same time, both burnt out at the same time

 

ash burn out quicker than pine when i tried too

 

also the bigger the lump, the longer it burns
