That's quite understandable - Is his hardwood not so nice?

Its fine so I believe, but the wood we buy is for our biomass boiler. We dry it then chip it.

You dry it and chip it - but a few thousand tonnes of chip would heat the Houses of Parliament!

 

What do you use it for if you don't mind ne asking?

I work for a commercial nursery and we have several large glasshouses which we heat by mainly underfloor heating.

Excellent, good to hear your support for biomass.

 

I expect you stack outside for 12 months to get moisture level down to 30% 'ish?

 

Do you get it contract chipped?

I try for 2 years if I can. We have just chipped and it is around 25%. I have seen slab wood at 18% but this batch was all round in large stacks.

Contract chipping is the only way for us. Two days and our store is full again(600 tons)

Ah, thanks for that. Depends a lot on the diameter of course.

 

Who does your chipping, I know there are some good guys down your way?

Mainly Dan Upton Southern Wood energy. We have had many different chippers over the years but for quality, quantity and service Dan is very good. For smaller top ups we use John Wotton but he only has 300 ish hp compared to Dans 780. John produces very good chip with his new Musmax though.

Ideal I'll make a note of this. I heard those boys go anywhere there's chipping. I'll mention your name. Thanks
