ash cord dry enough

[mendiplogs]

The markets going to be saturated with standing dead pre seasoned ash soon enough!

 

HI TONY your right there mate when start cutting down the ash trees jon

[axman]

ash and birch burn them green or burn them old. keep your chimney/flue clean ,1 cm seasoned beech at 60 pounds delivered and stacked ridiculosly cheap, time for reality

[Dave Martin]

Agreed, people can get propper anal about logs;)

 

:congrats:

[Poacher]

Beech wood fires are bright and clear

If the logs are kept a year,

Chestnut's only good they say,

If for logs 'tis laid away.

Make a fire of Elder tree,

Death within your house will be;

But ash new or ash old,

Is fit for a queen with crown of gold

 

Birch and fir logs burn too fast

Blaze up bright and do not last,

it is by the Irish said

Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread.

Elm wood burns like churchyard mould,

E'en the very flames are cold

But ash green or ash brown

Is fit for a queen with golden crown

 

Poplar gives a bitter smoke,

Fills your eyes and makes you choke,

Apple wood will scent your room

Pear wood smells like flowers in bloom

Oaken logs, if dry and old

keep away the winter's cold

But ash wet or ash dry

a king shall warm his slippers by.

[Stereo]

Welly boots will stink and smoke,

 

 

 

Pallet wrap your flu will choke

 

 

 

But tyres treaded or tyres bald

 

 

 

Will keep away the winter's cold.

 

 

 

 

 

Burning tapes and DVDs,

 

 

 

Will cause your ecofan to seize.

 

 

 

A gallon of petrol in the grate,

 

 

 

Will put you in a terrible state.

 

 

 

But tyres white or tyres black,

 

 

 

Will warm your aching back.

 

 

 

 

 

Plastic bottles, tubs and spoons

 

 

 

Your neighbours will complain of fumes

 

 

 

But tyres old and tyres new

 

 

 

Will finish them off with acrid plumes.

I prefer beech and nothing goes on my fire unless its seasoned for a year if not two. That poem needs binning. Wood seasons quicker when cut to logs rather than left in cord. Beech seasons fairly well in cord lengths especially if the harvester has marked the sides. In my experience ash will be dry as it was cut down.

HI STERO i like that a lot mate nice one jon

[silky fox]

Stereo tht,s nuts! it,s a "Do as you likey " Poem:001_rolleyes: But i agree that Beech well seasoned is Quality....however Hawthorn is my faveourite!

[gensetsteve]

Stereo's poem is more accurate and factual and should replace the other one. perhaps it could be extended to include roof felt, railway sleepers green flames and tantalised timber.
