Typical windup bullshit we've come to expect from a Butler.

Nah seriously, my old man has a massive arrow woodburner, shove it full of conifer it goes hot all night, put hardwood in it it just smoulders away. Unless of course it's barn dried for about a decade!

Tell me about spruce! Gone in a flicker; much prefer larch, western red cedar and mac. Got some dead standing douglas coming up - any good?

 

 

 

yes douglas is very good if dry we have sold 50 tons in the last 2months

but some people dont want to know there loss

burning Leylandii mixed with blue ceder at the moment. Great on the stove. The odd spit and bang, but who cares, it's a stove.

 

Just as good in my stove as dried ash.

Leylandii is the future Mick...

 

You just need an efficient stove, you know...like a "Yorkshire" stove from Dunsley in Holmfirth

 

dunsleyheat website - Multifuel stoves

 

We Yorkshire folk know how to make em. Just like Jon knows how to make good Cider

 

HI DEAN your must welcome to come down mate and some cider before the tax goes up on it :lol:soon jon

[Buzzsurgeon]

Leylandii burns very hot when dry, it leaves next to no ash tho so you have to watch you don't let it get to low, I rate it!!

 

I reckon leylandii should be grown and harvested as biomass!

[oldwoodcutter]

burning ash mixed with leylandii tonight.

Just went into room and threw some more on,stood up and got my head entangled in mrs oldwoodcutters underpants and bras she's got hanging on an airer from the beam above it.
