log sizes

[w6cloggs]

I save all my small stuff and it goes to my customers on the narrow boats they like it in their small stoves.or the Mother-in-law !!

i only sell to customers wood that is above 6" dia and is split any smaller i keep and burn on my log burner. but its a pain to cut up. but to sell small stuff which is a stick to a 80 year old is beyond the pale. diddling the OAP,s just because they do not know is wrong. i could not sleep at night. i try and treat all customers the same the right way. they then come back and pass on my name to others.

 

There could be another side to the story where she has five log merchants in and spins ea the same story and they feel sorry for her and leave half a cube free. but then I a can be a cynic

I use small stuff below 1" as kindling fill stove up with it it burns like hell soon gets stove up to temp then onto the bigger 3" plus logs its all free heat, but I am from Yorkshire

Do you sell this to them for the same or less money then you sell your logs?

i was looking again at the tr branch logger i can see a time when all brash will and should be used if we did more tree surgery i would consider one instead of chipping all branches

obviously time and volume of waste plays a part but this service would give added value to the customers wood when most want to keep logs for own burning

I still like the idea of these too. Did try burning some of the chunks it produces and they do burn well with plenty of heat, and not as fast as first thought it might. Reckon it would work well in a decent stove.

I bought a branch logger after this years APF show. I log everything down to 2" and put the rest through the branch logger. It can take wood up to 2 1/2" but it is hard to judge size when logging so I play on the side of cation so not to overload the branch logger. The chunks it produces do burn well but if there is a lot of very small twiggy stuff it is not very dense and burns through quickly but hotly. I have kept my workshop heated with branch logging's all winter.

How fast is your branch logger? I want to see if it's faster than out truncator for making bags. Is yours a welmac one? they look pretty good.

 

Also are they expensive?

Similar here. Although I generally sell by length (6-8", 8-10", 10-15") I keep the small stuff separate to the chopped stuff and if a customer wants some or all small-diameter logs, they get it from that stock.

 

Works well for me - any left-over I simply use myself.

 

But I do hate working with the little 'uns, though. What you save in chopping you more than spend in sawing!

From what I've seen, the branch logger will take some beating by any other methd - pretty much as fast as a chipper and straight into the bags at the same time. No snedding or owt. But, it's not really comparabe to actual logs.

We have had a few folks asking for small logs ( sticks I'd call them ) for those small sized stoves , so I'm now keeping a stock of them . I'd rather sell them than chip them !
