sweet chestnut

[taz.horses]

I had an 8 wheeler on trunks of sweet chestnut 20 years ago, ringed it up splits beautiful- looks great

Delivered all to my best customer, big house into a deep cellar

Had to replace it all luckily didnt have to throw out of cellar

Spits all over antique carpet

Ha Ha,

 

'Course, what I didn't mention was the fully tested smoke alarm, and the 3 nasty little burn holes in the front room carpet.

if it is seasoned well enough - it rarely spits

Yes, that's my experience. 'Spitty' woods need to be properly seasoned & then..problem gone.

I brought a load of sweet chestnut before i knew much about burning wood the guy said it would be ok in a burner what he didnt say was it wasnt seasoned and would explode when i opened the door got burns all over the carpet I burn about 25 cube a winter now but never get spitting all well seasoned mixed hardwoods

the biggest bangs i have had from logs - is actually lumps of old beech - when the grubs are in them - boy do they go off with a bang
