Odd firewood complaints

[Albedo]

Between the wife and the kids that's the first argument I've won in about 6 years, apology accepted:lol:

 

No worries mate......enjoy:001_smile:

 

Steve (our leader) gave me some advice about ...not knowing when to stop...type stuff.

 

I am trying to take his advice and I am grateful for it. It made me think....for once:001_smile:

I had one who said the were wet. Problem was it was raining when i delivered them. Some people can be so thick

[MAX]

Yeah i had one which i thought was a classic. Your logs turned the glass on my stove a black colour!

Not into firewood in a big way at all, just sell a few loads to recoup the cost of purchasing so my own is free.

 

Got some lovely Ash, identical loads and within 5 minutes of each other tonight i had one customer telling me they couldn't get it to burn and the other saying how pleased they were and how they couldn't stay in the room it was so hot- go figure that one out

[Woodworks]

Don't tell them that, just keep the wood flowing. How's the weather in Devon? Going down soon

 

Normal, Wet muddy with a side helping of drizzle but the weekend was quite good. When the sun does come out it's still a great place to be

yep barn stored logs covered on truck cos raining then told to dump on wet uncovered then moan they wont burn

I don't do logs anymore (thankfully). Delivered to a pub last year, landlady was not happy with the size of the load, her husband had seen a load the day before and ordered a load for the next day, she got him on the phone so i could speak to him, he told me to tip the load and take the money from his wife, all sorted , just about to jump in the truck and leave when she says can we have another load tomorrow, ya couldn't make it up!!!!!

Did have another one that wanted a load of oak because his wood burner would only burn oak (i supply 75% hardwood in my loads) Asked him how he would start his fire he replyed "o i use firelighters"

once had a customer put the hosepipe on a 2 cube load so they'd "burn slower"

 

 

Last Feb, when we'd run out of seasoned stuff, had a new customer ring up moaning his previous supplier had delivered him a load of wet logs and did we have any dry ones.

When i explained that we'd run out of logs that i'd be happy to sell as seasoned, he asked what we'd got in, he ended up taking the willow we were felling that day !!!!!!

 

We're also selling alot of unseasoned, unsplit conifer at the moment (advertised as such)

 

We've had a couple of customers saying that they'll be ok to burn in a week or two despite me telling them that we season softwood for a MINIMUM of two years.
