Hows the log sales going now

[theflyingscotsman]

Well I don't.

 

I've invested in a kiln this year to guarantee supply and m/c

 

 

There are two sides to your storey wether you choose to see it or not..

 

I have around 300 firewood customers some like it bone dry , some like it so it lasts a while.

 

It's your job as a businessman to run your business as you see fit.

 

As a good businessman, you provide what the customer wants: not what you think they want.

 

Merry Christmas

Come on tell me where all that sap goes then that does not dry just sets and tars up the flue.

 

When you sell cord do you mix it in.

 

Sorry but no self respecting firewood merchant will sell it.

The sap simply burns when dry.

 

The creosote that tars up your flue is caused by low flue temperature which causes condensation.

Scandinavian countries burn 1000's of tons of dry soft wood per year with no issues.

 

Try burning green hard wood, you will soon tar up your flue.
