Stick your hardwood where the sun don't shine

[Dean Lofthouse]

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

 

No tax On home brew Jon, get growing some apple trees, put some leylandii round the orchard to protect from wind then harvest leylandii so your toasty warm when you drink your cider infront of the stove

[pie eater pete]

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.

 

She didn't catch you tryin them on did she?

think the nicest softwood i burnt in a good while was a big pile of lawson cypress from a hedge job i got the timber from.

 

made for a very warm winter indeed and had lots so didnt care i was throwing on plenty.

 

kept living room over 20 celcious so very cosy.

 

its only in last three years i have had luxury of hardwood in my stove for more than odd night so there is nothing at all wrong with softwood.

Except that.....I got a better deal for a Dunsley Yorkshire stove from stoves are us, even after I turned up at Dunsleys place with a pocket full of folding.

 

It is a good stove though.

 

when i got our dunsley yorkshire boiler stove the delivery driver said so why have i delivered this from wales when they are made 1 mile away and the answer was £550

amazing how i bought it so much cheaper from internet:thumbup:when i drive past their spot every day:blushing:

Leylandii and lawsons make great swedish candles too:thumbup:

HI DEAN thats the way to go mate but i use beech and oak mate jon

[Dean Lofthouse]

I,ve got some beech cooking at the side of the stove over night Jon, gets the moisture right out of it like kiln drying, it's nice and toasty then.

 

Last year a customer told me they didn't want any conifer in their bag of logs, they only wanted hardwood. So I told them they can't have any anyway because I keep all the conifer for myself.

 

They asked me why I would do such a thing and after telling them it's top stuff if you have a really good efficient stove they ordered a bag of conifer logs. Then another, then another, now they love it.

I tell my customers exactly the same as its not worth the hassle selling mixed when it burns so well on our Dunsley.

Got about 8 cubic metre of leylandi seasoning atm it will burn fine in the rayburn once its ready.

 

Ideally would be to have some hardwood to mix with it though so the stove doesn't need feeding so often.
