Do you deliver wet logs?

[Dave Martin]

I have always been obsessive about delivering my logs dry whether selling them as seasoned or unseasoned but I need dry weather to do this. We bring them out of the barn into the open to put them into Barrow Bags but with the never ending rain and the manic Christmas rush this is proving close to impossible. Do you deliver your logs damp?

Sums up 2012; seasoning logs was a flippin nightmare; rain rain rain. Means a major change in the way I organise the process; simply can't log and leave in the barn anymore; need to rotate billets... Tail end of deliveries this year were borderline to say the least; bought in kiln dried to compensate.

Too right. That constant ruddy mist or horizontal rain permeating everywhere.

Yes they have been out in the rain for 12 months. Whats the alternative get the hair dryer out . The black fully seasoned wringing wet logs burn much better than that creamy coloured barn stored stuff. I am sure your regulars trust you by now to deliver a quality product. Imagine the cost if you have to store 500 cube in barns for 12 months.

This year has been horrible i have wood sat in the field 3 years old nearly wetter than the day it was felled been hopeless in fact its raining here yet again.

I would need to store over 1000 cube which is impossible just had 5x loads wood delivered in a week for next season see how it turns out!!

[Mortimer Firewood]

Yes bit of rain does not hurt them if you get a fussy one split test and put them to rest.

Nothing worse than taking dry logs to a customer then them saying they get stacked outside not undercover!
