Are they mad?!

[Jonny Burch]

Dropped a couple of loads of logs off on the way home to a local pub tonight. They had some earlier in the week that I explained were slightly wetter than I was happy with (28-30%) but was all I could sort at the time...(long story!)

 

The loads tonight were both 20% MC. "Oh, could we have some of the wetter logs please? We prefer them as they take longer to burn!"

 

Don't get customers sometimes...

The only complaints I've had so far this year (other than about the price ) were 'they burn very hard and fast and don't last long'....

 

 

.... what can you do!

[geoff]

I love it,you just cant do right for wrong sometimes...

[marlon]

I've had it three times today ...... Requests for logs that will last longer!

Perhaps they had to much to drink?, after all you did say the delivery was to a Pub.

Ive a couple of customers that keep my logs outside with no cover, they swear that they burn longer. So i am thinking , why do people buy kiln dried?

Erm,

That makes perfect sense to me.

A fire in a pub is generally only for atmosphere.

The last thing they generally need or want is a roaring hot fire.

In this respect peats are perfect as they kinda smoulder/burn stadily while putting out a wonderful smell.

The other perfect pub firewood in an ideal wood would be whatever Sid was burning in Spain, one time we visited, probably Olive wood or grape vine roots.

A single nominally football sized, but kinda scraggly, sat all lonesome, and very slowly burned away, in an open grate.

Almost certainly bone dry, but burned very slowly and steadily.

I was fascinated, but Sid was unable to identify the wood, simply local firewood.

So import some of that for your local pub.

Tell them to dip each log in a pail of water before throwing it on fire.
