Possibly looking for some poplar to make kindling in hampshire

[nick channer]

First time I've ever done kindling to be honest.. Goes through machine very easily and looks good in the net..

Lot of what I did was put in dumpy bags and sold to another firewood dealer near me..

Don't have a log left to be honest..

Last bit we cut for logs and mixed with ash and beech

If it goes through kindling machine without jamming or breaking up and looks good in the net thats 90% of it. The only thing left is does it burn and start the fire, needs to light easily and last long enough to get going. Once I have found a stick to try I may be interested in getting some pop of you in future only problem is no access for arctic and now no processor as we have given up logs.

Chain saw and vertical splitter would do same job.

Just to get them small enough to go in machine..

We had some big 3 ft rings which I split in 9 inch wafers like a rectangle.

They were the best to be honest..

Steve,

If you are driving along the A303 through Chicklade give me a call. I have some Poplar. We can cut a length for you and you can try it.

Nick have you got one of the new fuelwood 3 ph kindling machines. I think big rings are good as less bark but need to cut them accurately to 6in for our kindlet triangles work better than rounds as they dont shuffle up and down the conveyor.

Hi Ed and Jim could I come out and grab a trailer full and pay you for it. A good mixed bag big ones small ones knot free and knotty. That way when we get a big load know what we are dealing with. We have a full order book. I was asked a few months ago was asked for 650,000 bags but wife was not keen to make them

Is it your timber of choice for kindling. Do you have a stick I could buy to try.

 

Steve, pm me your address and i'll post you a small bundle of poplar kindling. Just put fair pile through my machine and it seasoned pretty damn quickly and burns very well

 

Regards,

Tom.

Hi Tom

 

Thanks for the offer from the comments above I think pop will be fine. Its just a case of making sure the local stuff works then getting 18 tonnes on a regular basis.
