I've just read the article, why does every one think wood is a cheap fuel? It is if you get it for free, but I worked it out and if I had to buy in it would cost me more than oil. It should'nt be a cheap fuel any way there's a lot of work that go's into getting it out of the woodland to being chopped up stacked on someones drive!

 

 

And all these wood burning stoves that are being installed and the wood munching power stations means only one thing wood is going only one way and thats up.

 

Another thing is I can't see Mr Middle class getting his hands dirty on a weekend collecting wood from the forest and filling the boot of his X5 with fire wood. Its not going to happen.He just wants to flip a switch.

 

Also if every one starts using it it wont be long before there is no woods left.

 

Population control is a better option in my opinion

Alot of these young lads need castrating and the girls are'nt much better! take for example a lad who worked for me since he was 16 and now 21, 3 different girl he's got pregnant 2 of them were under 15 at the time, all of them on benefits

 

I'm paying my taxes to keep him,his kids and 3 girls

I`ll not go into the fact the world is massively over-populated,,,,,

 

wood is going to become very expensive and very soon!

There's a serious point about improving how we manage our woodlands in there. How many unmanaged stands of badly neglected woodland do w all know?

Some good points. I think stove retailers faced with selling a £1600 stove will tell the customer anything to get a signiture on a cheque. I have enjoyed selling logs for 5 years until a month ago when i decided to run out. The attitude of the general public is appalling basically " I want bone dry logs stacked christmas eve and im not paying that" . I have a letter this week saying cord wood will be 25% more from 1st Jan. I doubt I will order much in for next winter Just enough to satisfy my cave man gatherer cravings
