A different way to chop your wood

[Stubby]

their is a very good market for small logs. I think about a third of our customers would like granny logs. I have worked out its people fitting log burners in small fire places. Also new build super insulated houses only need a 4kw stove and they have to open the windows.

 

Exactly what he said !

Funny enough a stand at the APF on the demo circuit was demonstrating 2 different capacity machines for producing "granny logs" out of branches, or ideally harvested coppice?

A very deceptively simple mechanism, 2 (gear linked?) rollers with 3 blades on each, blades timed/set to meet so as to guilliotine the branch as it fed through.

Driven offen a wee tractor PTO........................Burp and a branch gone..............and a bag filled with wee short logs.

I was pleased to see sommat at the smaller more realistic end of the firewood market, in my preception.

cheers

The majority of my customers request small logs and as a result we cut to 9" as standard but even these are sometimes to large.

I cut to 240mm, so just over 9 inch and have a diameter no bigger than 150mm, ideally a bit smaller.

 

Every stove I sell will take these logs, 85% of my sales are for small stoves, ( 5kw or less), these usually are able to take 280mm at a push, so 240mm means they go in widthways as prescribed easily. Never had a complaint.
