???!!! Er, Dartmoor et al is covered in the stuff! Ok, not like Scotland, but plenty about...

 

Now, Mac(rocarpa) and Oak - that was a superb mix; prob the best softwood firewood with slow ol oak, makes one heck of a wood burner blend.

hi sold about 80 cube so far this year some customers who had it in march april have asked for another load or 2 have burnt it myself and seems ok, the scandinavians burn alot of spruce and i think we can learn alot from them because a lot of the stoves espeically the better ones are scandinavian designed,

Now that's interesting - rarely hear Sitka mentioned. Thanks.

 

It's what is mainly grown in Kielder, clean, hot and low ash.

I have a 170 ton clear fell to do and all that is holding it up is finding a market for it , the majority \ 75%is processor size and the rest being decent saw log. It seems the firewood guys in cornwall are not at all keen on the stuff

[briquette_seller]

Don't you have a Biomass market?

[combined tree services]

To be fair cornwall is a funny county like that , this timber is right down in the west , unless you have a local market for the timber your on to a looser as the haulage kills it , biomass is not widely used down here yet with very very few reputable avenues to sell to

You'll not go cold for a while then.
