Hi Dan,

You are incorrect - I did read the threads - and I had seen that the Firewood regs had already been posted - my post was not intended to upset anyone - The Firewood Regs as per my link had removed a lot of legal jargon and displayed the rules in their simplest form (did you follow my link to see that before posting a slightly hostile response?)

 

If as you say - you season your wood outdoors for two years- your wood will be good to go - and we both know that - and good luck to you!

 

However if a Representative from Woodsure visit you -  they will probably disagree and request that you build a polytunnel solar kiln or something similar.

 

I wish you all the best

 

Ian

Just for the avoidance of doubt you do not have to register with woodsure in order to sell logs.

I always thought 20% moisture was 20% moisture irregardless of how it is achieved .

I just put 13 tightly strapped cubic meters into my woodshed, and having idlly checked the fortnight box of firewood in the Sun blasted garden room, where it not infrequently hits 30 deg and showing 26% relative humidity today and got a nominal 10% moisture(which seems entirely reasonable in the circumstances pertaining) I then checked my uncovered  billet bundles, always checking a fresh cut face in the middle of the 1.0m length, drawn from the middle of the bundle, and always a thicker one 

And got 12.5%

Which in the staggering dreauth we have experience this 2 or 3 weeks seems entirely likely to be correct(the dead grass up the moss being positvely crisp).

So who needs a Polytunnel?
