Yes mate, wood, cut to 900mm long and split into billets or left in round up to about 6 inch.

All softwood, stuff that woulda been burnt on fire in yard.

Nick, have you gone for a gasifying boiler, if so which kind? Built in water tank, do you mean a tank for domestic hot water inside the buffer tank at the top?

 

Yes. It's called a central boiler. Google it its on 1st page. Imported from Canada.

It has the tank built into the housing so it is very compact. Looks like a garden shed with a chimney. Pumps the hot water through a flow and return pipe sited underground.

Looks like a bombs hit the farm at min with 700mm trenches dug everywhere.

Look on youtube as daft as it sounds. People post videos of how theirs works, how to make them and they can offer good advice etc. If you could get one to run on wood chip or wood chunks and offer free tip in premises big enough, you'd be sorted.

Hi Nick

I presume that it is sited outside (or away from your house), but do you have to fill it by hand or can you stack the billets in a wooden crate and then just load the wooden crate in with a tractor or loader of some sort?

Yeah sited about 20 m from nearest house.

Fill by hand couple times a day. Takes less than couple mins. Clean ash out ( couple shovel fulls) once every 4-6 weeks. Guy who sold it to us has 2 himself so seen them working. One of them has clocked up £12000's worth of rhi payment in just over a year.
