The saw is sleeping, mendip. Everyone has bragged ( or not so much) about their gas bill. How much did it cost you all in logs then? If you were a paying customer I wonder what the difference in price would be.

This is the one

We will use about 8 cube logs this winter on 2 fires. Gas bill still £500 though.

That 8 cube would have cost about £600 but didn't apart from my labour and paying one of the lads to do some too. Logs ain't cheap when you take everything into account. But they sure are nice and make a cosy home.

Not really into this eco house thing where there isn't a point heat source that you can gather round. Then again haven't really lived in one. It's just what some of my customers have told me. I would be liking the lack of bills though.

Utilities cost me nearly 2 grand a year here if you include water and sewage. Council tax is 1400 thats about £60-£65 a week all in. Living ain't cheap

If I did not use logs rejected by customers (softwood) then I would use the waste sawdust I generate in processing logs.At the moment I use the waste sawdust to heat my polytunnel in a home built sawdust burner.

what can log burners heat, rads, water...? also what you folks roughly paying for installation for when your connecting up to rads etc. Just curious. Miles of getting a house and don't want one atm :)
