firewood tumbler/beet cleaner!

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

If they are paying £200 a cube for snob logs then got to be done. If they are paying the average £100 a cube then wtf is going on with the world. You don't charge by weight and the bark is not taking up volume. I am sure normal people are prepared to collect a few bits in their dust pan when THEY have finished stacking.

 

Exactly. Often a dustpan-full of scrapings on the driveway with the logs after they've been tipped - never ever had anyone want it removed or tidied up.

I find that logs made with a processor have way more than a dustpan full of trash. Up to 20 % trash by volume.

 

I like the beet cleaner idea.

I guestimated about 10% when we were working out whether there was enough energy in the waste to dry the logs.

 

I wanted to try something like this lifter that sold on ebay 261240252757, I used to see them at farm sales for about 8o quid in the 80s

The most I ever saw was a two gallon bucket full but we used to process green beech then season in vent bags for 18 months. Part seasoned beech would shatter an make mess

Most of my customers get a bucket or the like to collect up the bits of bark and shards of wood to use as kindling. Not that there is that much anyway but they might as well make use of it rather than throw it in the bin.

Bark is going to fall off when tipped any way. Is you storing them in a pile then load with loader a beet bucket will help remove some crap.
