Kiln dried Firewood - The future ?

[R5log]

Why thank you ! Unfortunately solar didn't work for our business model so I didn't explore it in too much detail.

 

If I were a firewood merchant (purchasing more than 500 tonnes of cord wood pa ) I would act NOW and put in a Farm 2000 boiler (now have RHI compliance on wood and straw as a fuel) on medium tariff or a GF205 boiler on the medium tariff. My preference would be the Farm 2000 but the GF205 is also an option. The window of opportunity to act is small and the ROI is better and more certain than anything else out there.

Do you load these boilers by hand?

I spoke to 'Farm 2000' about 3 months ago - decent knowledgeable people.

 

That window is closing fast as you say, but with Solar Thermal I could open another.

One or 2 on the Forum have been shrewd enough and employed energy conservation efficiency to make it work. Drying timescales will vary of course but the possibilities are there.

The dispute with GF has been settled (I cannot comment any further). I am trying to be desperately fair here.

 

In terms of what GF promise and offer THE FIREWOOD MERCHANT the boiler is an option. It is cheaper than Farm 2000. It will not perform as well as the Farm 2000 and does not have the flexibility of straw as fuel. It will also use more fuel per kw generated. If cash does not permit a Farm 2000 and you are realistic about fuel useage then GF is your only option and given the ROI and benefits that a kiln will bring I would by a GF205 with little hesitation.

Knowledgeable and honest

A quick tip for you with your GF kiln set up. So long as you are comfortably hitting tier 1 then insulating your kiln will make a HUGE difference to your the performance. Please trust me on this. I put a considerable amount of time into helping arbtalk member Ash Smith with his set up and he will vouch for the difference it will make. It will be the best £1,500 or so you have ever spent.
