The woodsure scheme, do we need it?

[Nicholas Johnson]

I had a chat again today with a woman at Woodsure, she was actually extremely nice and understanding, she knows there are loopholes in the system and she understands why we feel this way, apparently they're developing a small group scheme for smaller companies, Watch this space.

The same lady rang me about 4 months ago and she mentioned a scheme for small producers then so fingers crossed we will get something good 😀 and yes she was very nice.

Hi all. So in the meantime while waiting for the scheme for the small producers, we have to sign up to the current scheme they have in place?

just been doing my regular perusal of my google webmaster stats and saw this. Thats quite a lot of people googling how to complain about their neighbours, and thats just the ones that landed up at arbtalk. Thats over a 3 month period.

I followed a very long running thread by an absolute nutter on the greenbuildingforum, who was completely unreasonable about a neighbour with a wood burning stove.

He may have had some grounds, but was, at least in my opinion, entirely unreasonable in his expections or demands.

I'm dreading this problem, a lady three doors down has said to me she thinks woodburning stoves are bad so I'm careful not to emit smoke but the smell is a bit inevitable.

With the price of all the mainstream heating sources going through the roof it wouldn’t be a good time to strike out at the alternatives. 
 

That said, when did logic ever come in to it?

 

Im dropping RHI registration for pellet / log production. 
 

Simply not work the hassle - unless this mystical ‘small producer’ scheme materialises in time and represents a relative reduction in admin balls.

I dropped it a long while ago as I had so few RHI customers anyway. Have now got some of them back due to their RHI scheme ending.

Yeah.

 

I'm very dependent on wood fuel I have self sourced so my domestic heating bill for gas has only been £13 so far this year (and I need to find a way of decreasing its use for DHW by using excess PV) so stopping wood burning would be a significant cost to me.
